   About Little Things
Rokhsan had been cutting Henry’s hair for as long as he cares to remember; Although not altogether comfortable with the arrangement Henry was too polite to say anything. Once they were old enough to play guitars, but too young to go out on a school night, they disrupted folk clubs from Whitstable to Workington with their Bleeding Hearts Country Mixtape Band.

James and Tim spent their formative teenage years in a string of well meaning but unfortunately named shambolic punk bands, gaining notorious respect in the Croydon punk scenes but often ending soon after their 1st or 4th gigs. However, undeterred this aged old rhythm duo were not to be silenced and found a new medium with the discovery of Henry’s apparent push over nature and of course his musical gift.

"Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge. Todenge dam magar tera saath na chhodenge. Ae meri jeet teri jeet, teri haar meri haar. Sun ae mere yaar.Tera gham mera gham, meri jaan teri jaan, Aisa apna pyaar. Jaan pe bhi khelenge, tere liye le lenge. Sab se dushmani." Jon exclaimed after being asked exactly how he joined the band. It bewildered everyone.

The story of how these five first met and started there never-ending tour of abandoned music halls is far too long to go into now but suffice to say that it involves a basement party, two boys in the same Belle and Sebastian t-shirt and a case of mistaken identity in the dark.

"the highest pop band which in the essence was digested in original sound!" - Flake Records (Japan)

"This in the pure pop sense which leads to ... the stirring impression of perfect the large masterpiece which it tells with the sound which overflows!" Arch Records (Japan)

"Wonderful pop confection" - Shaun Keaveny 6music

”Do you remember the day you kissed a girl for the first time? It was a wonderful, slobbery experience! And in that sense, a little bit like Little Things- a band that have single handedley invented Nu-Twee and got away with it. It is an infectious pop conundrum!” - Artrocker!

“This is a young band writing fabulous, upbeat pop-tunes. It is hard to doubt that in time lovers will skip along hand-in-hand to these affectionate songs.” – Music Week

"Sometimes I find little things that make my day. Two songs received by email have been played over and over again. Each time I play these songs, I hear something new. Each time, I'm struck by the brilliant arrangements and the fantastic harmonies made by two very different voices singing on the same song. I just love it. Very, very good stuff. "Lullaby" is one of the most beautiful modern good night-songs I've heard in a very long time." - Knut B. Lindbjør from Eardrums music

“Expensive liquid sits heavily on my stomach, and I danced less than I would have liked to a thrilling and energetic set from Little Things. A heavy and eclectic touring schedule have elevated the group from charmingly shambolic performers to a tight yet exuberant unit. Though not yet completely transcending their influences, Little Things often suprise by taking their lilting melodies on extended and passionate detours into punk and reggae. Three out of four members share vocal duties, the weaving harmonies of Iggs and Rox that begin as a pleasant addition becoming an essential bedrock as Henry comes to inhabit the songs, his voice morphing into an exuberant yelp on new numbers like ‘Brand New Rollerskates’. Overall an enthralling set, only broken up by unnecessary exhortations to purchase their latest record, ‘Swallows And Little Things’ from Henry. We didn’t need the hard sell, we loved it.” – GigsReviewsNews.com

There's too much modesty in pop these days. One of 2006-7's finest live acts was the Little Ones and now this rather spiffing ska tinged ditty turns up performed by a band who similarly hide their light in a bushel, The Little Things. Particularly as they're all six foot four and are hung like donkeys. Possibly. Anyway, with Tooting* brass Best Nights Sleep skips along like one of those jaunty late-80s twee pop numbers that your dad used to love before the style police insisted that music should be serious and shoes should be stared at, not shuffled. And of course, it is therefore utterly grrrrreat. Unfortunately Lullaby on the flipside couldn't be a more soporific contraszzzzzzzt if it was delivered by Rip Van Winkel with a hot botty.... * The place they're from (as well as Guildford). See what I've done there? - SoundsXP.com

I was pretty much sold on the "new Barcelona" line, but to follow that up with a lyric referencing McLusky in the 1st song...

Love the cheeky Pellow in the background of the video, doesn't seem to be doing to much though...

Thanks for the add,

Good morning lovely little things,

We too are very excited to be seeing you guys again; It'll be splendid! Oh I'm sure I can sort out something for you in Reading, might have to be an acoustic set as we've just got our hands on a monthly alt-acoustic night. If you're up for it, let me know! Have you got a new drummer now?
