Sounds Like
A young man who lived in pains,
Who after infinite racking of brains,
Said that he'd found,
A new kind of sound,
but couldn't remember his name.
Umbrella Assassins formed at the end of 2006, by four mates from a very small,grey town called Haverhill.We are a punk band at heart but try to take influences from a wide range of bands.Our plan is simple- make honest, real music with the very limited tools we have, we tend to spend the little money we do have on things we shouldn't!... but then who does n't? right?
Its important for us to be true to ourselfs.
Thanks for listening.

Cheers man, yeah I got another free beer on the way home! Nah we were going to but the bassist had booked all his holiday by then, which is a shitter! We'll have to play together again soon! Take care, Dan
Alright fellas, good show the other day! Shame about the turnout really, but it was one of the most fun gigs I've played anyway! Is there much going on in Haverhill for music then at the moment? Speak to you soon, Dan

Yeah it was a good night, made a change to stay right to the end and not wimp out! I have a hangover today. I believe my next Jenny and the Skylights gig is on July 29th at the Water Rats in Kings Cross. Dunno how simple it is for you to travel down on a week night. I'm trying to find gig venues at the mo so if you have any tips or know some good promoters let me know!
