   About Stella Dawes
We are currently looking for another guitarist to join us. We feel our new material would benefit well from a second guitar so please get in touch if you like what we play, are committed and are prepared to travel to Birmingham to practice. We want someone to play with passion and energy and to push themselves and us to write better. We are all 23 but happy to welcome a younger member, just get in touch if you're interested. The ability to play fairly complex chords and pick up rhythms and ideas quite quickly would be useful for both you and us.

The more we live, the more we learn, the more we experience, the more we realise that perfection like Tolkien's 'cellar door' will never exist. Mistakes are what make us human and it is only through misjudgment that we ultimately realise that no one's perfect...yeah, right!

If you like our music please join our facebook group, 'cos you're worth it.

We have made an album called Contrasts and it is now ready to buy from us. We are selling it on a sliding scale so pay what you can. If we sold each copy at £5 then we would just about break even. So for anyone who wants to pay a little extra we would hugely appreciate it, and for those of you who are strapped for cash then you can slide under by a pound or two. We just want people to hear our music at the end of the day, and if that means losing a little then we'll just have to work some more shifts!
We've put 12 tracks on there and it's 52 minutes long so that works out at about £1 for every ten minutes, what a bargain!

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK. WE ARE WAITING TO RECEIVE MORE PACKAGES FROM THE PRINTERS SO BEAR WITH US. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE HAVE MORE AVAILABLE, SORRY!!

Alright chaps, this is Adam from Sinatra!

Its the first chance Ive had to check out your guys stuff and it sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to doing some shows together in the near future. I love the case for you album too. Did you get it done anywhere special? I'm asking just because i own the Daitro/Sed Non Satiata split and its in the same box.

Well fucking done on having Ampere, La Quiete and Loma Prieta in your top friends. All of them are fantastic!

Keep in touch boys, Adam/Sinatra x
