   About The Exteriors
The initial idea for The Exteriors was hatched on a car journey from london back to leeds in which Brown (Deerpark, Big Eyes, Capo d'Astro, Sourtooth), Hubley (The Seven Inches) and Shumsky (Big Eyes, Plouf!, Bouquet) discussed the idea of forming a Hall and Oates AOR type band. However once it was realised that those songs are all really hard and require skills that idea was swiftly abandoned. Ireland(also of The Seven Inches) was recruited on bass as he could decifer Shumsky's jazz chords and the band found a barn(jeff's special barn even) on a farm to practice in.

The band then went on to play numerous gigs with the likes of Herman Dune, Damo Suzuki, Yumi Yumi and Bilge Pump. Then as things go Brown left to move to Glasgow, and celebrity Simms (Bob Tilton, Brown Owl, Prints) was recruited to play a few shows, the first being one of the best shows for the band at the Hyde Park Unity Day festival, as it goes Brown was in the audience giving some of the loudest cheers. Again the band were thwarted by distance, Hubley moved to London and then nine months later Simms moved from Leeds to Newcastle. Will they ever play again? Who knows.
