The band members are Colin, Emma and Ed, Matt and James. Colin and Ed have been writing and performing together on and off for 13 years, notably in local folk rock band Bridge. Ed also played with the rather more famous garage rockers Narco! Emma was the lead singer with electronica-influenced band Amberstate.
The group are currently writing and trialling new songs written by Emma, Colin and Ed.
Influences on these songs include Portishead, Bat For Lashes, Radiohead, and the Cocteau Twins to name but a few. You can become a friend of The Halcyons at this group page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19395284353&
The newly (properly mixed!) versions of our EP tracks are now availble on CD if you prefer your music in old school format. If you'd like one for the tiny sum of £2 inc postage and packing send us a message with your name and address and we can arrange payment via paypal or cheque.
