The year 2005 saw the formation of The Damn Fine Coats, a band consisting of singer/guitarist Olly Cole, drummer/poet Tom Brooks and bassist/handsome man Jim Butler. Each band member contributes lyrics with Olly the most prolific scribe having penned songs such as '2 Headed Monster', 'One Third Don't Make A Whole Lot Of Difference' and 'Nice Try, Icarus'. Tom has provided 'Roses', 'Saffron' and 'Dawn' among others while Jim has recently dabbled in lyrics with success in the shape of 'Be Lucky'. The band are also fairly equal in terms of their musical contributions with Olly writing the guitar parts, Jim contributing the bass lines and Tom providing the drums. This lack of a real lead songwriter has led to some of the band's most inventive, unique creations such as the mind bending instrumental 'Let's Put The Fun In Funeral'.
Having spent a substantial amount of time after their formation writing, rehearsing, changing, re-rehearsing and then scrapping vast amounts of music, TDFC finally settled on a five song track list for their first demo. This led to the band being booked for their first gigs at the back end of 2007 and have been playing regularly around London ever since. A second demo followed in 2008, a record that has been played regularly on Hayes FM as well as other local radio stations.
The demo showcases the band's eclectic tastes with each member bringing their own personal influences to the songs. From the progressive math rock of 'Let's Put The Fun In Funeral' to the punkish tendencies of 'Nice Try, Icarus' and the subtle yet madly catchy choruses of both 'Saffron' and '2 Headed Monster', the band cater to all palettes. TDFC continue to gig around London with the aim of improving their music and gathering a fan base while striving to remain their own favourite band. A recent acoustic set on local radio gained rave reviews and the band continue to write new material with the aim of recording a third demo by early 2010.
