Spring, summer, autumn and winter. Well, maybe not spring.
The Effras are a five-piece based in Norwood, South London, where the River
Effra rises and flows underground until it reaches the Thames at Vauxhall.
The sound (of the band, not the Effra) is rock with a tinge of country and folk, with songs about steam engines, lost
rivers and living in SE19. Byrds, Kinks, Elvis Costello and early REM are
key influences.
Hiya Boys. Kelly from the Stereophonics is obviously an Effra's fan, nicking his bands new album title from yer "Pilot Light" 's lyrics. Love to come on the 28th but im playing myself at the Dirty south Supporting Tom Higley from the Inspiral Carpets that night.... Hope to catch you soon! BTW HI DAVE!
Just listened to Pilot Light - brought back some good memories...I remember the song well! One that just sticks in your head. Hope things are cool and you are still writing loads of great songs.

hello ruminski how was green belt? glad you like the new stuff. as for a mellotron, if you can't find a real one, use a cheap casio keyboard, choose the flute setting and then overdrive it a bit. it's better than nowt!
Hi Andrew/Effras hope you are well and all that. we have a new song up, Just Don't. take it home and try it for size! good luck at the Green Belt! Clint x

Corinne was on your page so that jogged my memory... still love "down in the effra". so yes this is my music page, but some of the stuff ive got up has a VERY long way to go! anyway take it easy and i'd imagine we'll probably meet again soon,
