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.
Brainwash Compilation featuring us out now ... from Jumbo, Crash or Norman Records!
You can listen to our live January Resonance FM session at http://www.dexterbentley.com/hellogoodbye.htm. We've done soundtracks to a couple of films, and are very eager to do more, so if you've made a film that needs music... Also, we love doing gigs. Ask us and we will come!
