We want to make great music. Special music. Angry music, sad music, dance music, suggestive music, and anything else that gets us going music.
We want to put on intense, wonderful live shows where everyone is welcome, regardless of musical/social/sexual leanings.
Everything seems so terribly regimented these days, we want to do and create things that worry and excite us, and others
We are working towards making this happen, there are barriers. But we are happy to get our well creased slacks dirty to achieve everything.

In our musical life so far we have crammed in much. We have played shows with Idlewild, Nine Black Alps, !Forward Russia!, The Departure, Drive By Argument, Neil's Children, The Law Twin Atlantic, Theoretical Girl and Art Brut .
We were also crowned Dundee Groups Disco Dancing champions earlier this year, and have been in more wild west style bar room brawls than you could ever dream of.

If we didn't have our dreams we would be nothing.

Moody, accomplished Interpol-style Indie……….. NME

Hey guys, thanks for the add :)
Really like your music.

If you want a little extra promotion, add EXCLAIMYOURNAME™ PROMOTIONS. Me and a couple of my friends run it and it's basically just to help spread the word. You don't have to, I just thought I'd give it a mention :)

Hope you're all good,
