   About The Left Outsides

=============================================

“Introspective folk, tinged with subtle inventiveness” Uncut Magazine

" ... gentle psychedelia of chilly English fields at dawn......" Tangents

::About The Left Outsides::

The Left Outsides are Mark Nicholas and Alison Cotton, a duo from Camberwell, south London who have been playing together since the winter of 2003. Mark is a former member of acid expressionists of Arrowe Hill and Alison's considerable viola skills have been put to good use in numerous bands including Saloon, Comet Gain and Television Personalities.

The Left Outsides seamlessly mix their love of the whimsical, English psychedelia of Syd Barret, with the icy and ethereal european folk of Nico, the drones of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the introspection of Elliot Smith, all done in their unique, understated way.

Their debut EP 'Leaving the Frozen Butterflies Behind' was released on the 'I wish I was Unpopular' label in January 2006 and their album titled 'And Colours in Between' was released in May 2007 on Transistor Records. A live album titled 'Live at The Drop Out' was self released in January 2008. A 7" single 'The Third Light' was released on the Hi-Beat Records label in July 2008. The Left Outsides are currently working on a new album to be released in 2009.
