       About The Windows
    The windows formed when M.J. Champion fell from his Shire horse in a simple twist of fate. After a knock to head he found himself experimenting with un-sophisticated, well intentioned, psychedelic rhyme. Sunday morning came around and the struggling musical scholar realised a musical alliance should be formed. meanwhile Nathan Russell, a hound dog from cowes, went day tripping with K.Radford, a cosmic dancer from ventnor, in search of a band. The pair crossed paths with Champion at the platform one school of music. They began Playing together and a strange vibration flowed from the practice rooms which were painted black at the time. The team gained great satisfaction from their music but felt it had no direction home without a complete rhythm section. Champion got on the road again in an attempt to find the meaning of soul and a descent drummer. Instead of goin' up the country he went somewhere else, down the farm. Then a brainwave surged forth.
    Champion had crossed paths with a farmers son who stands under the name of S. Sales at an early age. During lessons and lunchtime football sessions at Niton primary the two country folk became friends. Sales has a passion for local cider, jazz funk and; conveniently, is a great drummer with great rhythm. He was asked to join the band in January 06 and the picture is slowly becoming complete. We hope to be visiting downtown San Francisco in the near future. Thanks to Scott Mckenzie
