We started playing together in 2004, and we're making progress. So far we've recorded an 11-track album in a disused church in Leeds buy it at gigs or online from www.boomkat.com And a load of gigs of course. We've made it as far and as wide as Glasgow, Brighton and Bristol. We want to go all over the land. We also intend to go further. Like to sea.
We Improvise! That's what we do. We make tunes inside which to improvise, or just start from nothing. We also compose. We've got a wide variety of influences, because we're all from different musical backgrounds - contemporary classical, folk, jazz, free improv, punk and just plain odd - but we find mutual ground through listening to each other, and making it up as we go along.

Solo alias of Melbourne based multi-instrumentalist Sam Jones, previously found playing with Flying Saucer Attack, Minotaur Shock, Crescent and Third Eye Foundation. A brilliant mix of electronic and acoustic textures, plaintive vocals and eccentric British humour, The Balky Mule has garnered comparisons to people like Hood, Pram, Syd Barrett and FatCat labelmates Songs of Green Pheasant.
The increasingly mis-named Unpopular Music night returns in May with three Norwegian wailers including long-lost Leeds adoptee Ulrik Thorsrud...
...no large rare mammals have been/are being/will be harmed for this event, but if you stick around for a drink afterwards get your own insurance. I'll have a gun.
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you again for all the kind messages and comments you have sent in the past.
I wish you and yours a very Happy Easter.
May He bring you lots of joy this season.
Goodbye for now and may God bless.
