We'd say 'we are a collective' but that probably gets us off on the wrong foot immediately. We are a bunch of people. We share at least three things with thousands of other bunches of people across the globe: a passion for good music, a desire to create more, and some chance encounters which brought us together a few years ago.

Happy summer (fingers crossed that the rain will stop!)
Hi there thesecondwhorl
Friends old and new..we have just added some new live dates. Including probably the final screening of our belleville rendezvous rescore, plus dates for our brand new rescore project...sshh its a secret
hopefully see you in a field somewhere this summer..do drop by and say hello
Yes, this is another one of those mbc's (myspace bulk comments), but we make no pretence and anyway this is one with a difference!
If you haven't already heard, this Sunday (29th) we're playing at The White House in Clapham for P45 - “A Sunday night out that’s actually worth the risk”.
P45 will rival anything that a Friday or Saturday has to offers, and is sure to have just about every employer in London fretting.
“It takes something a bit special to keep people out on a Sunday (and risk actually getting their P45!!) and I think that’s what we’re creating here…We’ve got some extra special guests and artists that will make the Monday morning hangover seem more than worth it.” Quite fitting then that the legendary Freeform 5 and Ladykiller, as well as ourselves, have been invited to kick off the opening party.
Free before 5pm, then 5 quid after, there really is no reason not to come down and say "Hi".
Geezer. Great to see you at The Prince the other week. You and your gammy lungs gonna be about on Thursday? Peepshow Paddy's heading up from your neck o'the woods...
Hi thesecondwhorl
OK we're back with a host of summer events, kicking off with us and Freeform 5 at The White House on Sun April 29th. Please drop by our myspace page to find out more :)

OK, it's been a rubbish week, but at least the sun was out. Tomorrow is Paddy day, so we were hoping you might make it down to Charterhouse Bar for a Guiness with us :D
