Nice things people said:
“Each song standing on its own
plateau of a widely stretched influence of music… This album
is well constructed and gives us a perfected painted picture of a
band that can convince anyone”
Mark Thomas, The Blue Light District
"A tight, technically sound and confident debut from a group that
should be around for some time".

All for free entry, and of course there's an acoustic open mic every Monday evening, hosted by Nathan Persad.
That's it, Chet's packed it in, so we have nothing to live for as a band, seeing as we were never anything more than a Chet cover band. So to go out with style, we've rangled up a tour of South London.
Our friends from Exeter, Le Chat Noir, will be joining us on our excursion, as we pass the torch in the journey of the two piece rock band, come see these guys, they make White Stripes look like amateur, well ok, Meg White makes White Stripes look like amateurs, but who's counting.
