Band Members
  • Simon Smart-Foster - Lead vocal, rhythm guitar, song writer. enough said.
  • Jake Lyall - Keys, pianos, backing vocals, machines with blinking lights, reality-based suggestions and relentless up-beats.
  • John Patterson - Myriad lead guitars, vocals, effects, moppy hair. In short, the pretty one.
  • Ian Sampson - Drums and an undying desire to punish them.
  • Donald Ago - Master of the boomstick bass.
InfluencesLots of "Indie" stuff--fuck dependent rock. Interpol, Ride, Radiohead, Neil young, Simon Smart-Foster, Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, James, Coldplay, Turin Brakes, Massive Attack, Tricky, Sneaker Pimps, Mogwai, Broken Social Scene, The Helio Sequence
Sounds LikeA barrel rolling down a hill through burning fields and pub gardens with a man inside singing 'my old mans a dustman' in a southern Austrian equivalent to cockney rhyming slang. Does that clear it up?

Long live Longband!

Yeah guys, we enjoyed meeting you too and completely concur that a scene needs to form around like minded and styled bands like all of us.

Let's go after the entrenched Fiefdoms!! The barbarians are at the gates... and they are us!
