We started doing gigs under the name Our Sleepwalking Hero in early 2005... we were hosting an open mic night at the time and people seemed to be digging the songs...we recruited Jon The Helmet S. on bass... this was all in Guernsey... we did some live sessions on local radio... people at gigs asked for a record so we went into the studio and recorded EP1 and EP2... they sounded good and we sold lots... we came to London that summer to spread the love... good times... back on the sweet isle we ran an acoustic stage at the almighty Vale Earth Fair... by the autumn I was set on moving to London permanent-like... around then we played quite a special gig which was later named as gig of the year by the local paper - a real honour in light of the absurd amount of talent abounding at the time... we still had a pile of songs unrecorded... these became the Farewell Demos, which were released at our last gig in October 2005 as limited edition hand numbered CD-Rs... these days we're all on different landmasses but this page will stay up as a kind of museum... we are eternally grateful for the support we received and the friends we made... if you'd like a free copy of any of our records just let me know... skinbenshawAThotmailDOTcom... or go and listen to my new music... thank you.

Nick can't talk right now, he's currently trapped in a Zen style consciousness which renders him incapable of speech and bodily functions. That and we've also tied him to a chair. I'm actually about to stick some old tunes on and cut his ear off. All artists must suffer for their work you see and its the perfect way to show you care...
it would have been great to see you there mate, encase we get slated and have sopmeone there to support us... haha.
hopw are you anyway? OSH are really missed, and all the midcarson boys miss you guys and your company alot!
