In the lack of anything more interesting to say, we're from Nottingham and London and have been playing gigs for a few years now. Some of the bands we've played with are in the Sounds Like section over there on the left. We've had some good times indeed, not least touring with Bilge Pump for a short while. Magical times!
We are always on the lookout for gigs so please get in touch if you like what you hear!
I feel it's getting ever closer to the day when we actually release something. It'd sure be nice to put that on this here list. We'll get working on that one.
I think that's about it. Any questions?
Oh, and if anyone fancies a free demo, just send us a message and we'll get one sent out to you!!
