Alas, after over 5 years together we've decided to call it a day. the decision is acrimonious and we all still regularly bathe together, just a choice to create different space. we have however just finished the album we've been threatening you with and have decided that the best way to launch it and say farewell would be to do two last back to back shows and give away copies of the album. these shows are on the 14th and 15th of august at the komedia. we will be playing through all the classics and generally having a big party. please come and show your love and tell anyone who you think would like to know. then at the end there will be a big puff of smoke and we will disappear. or something. x see you there.
KING PORTER STOMP with TIN ROOTS @ THE BRUNSWICK, SAT DEC 12TH.
We're very happy indeed to have been invited back to play a Christmas show at the Brunswick. We're gonna be joined by our festival friends and wicked roots reggae groovers, Tin Roots, so expect a whole lotta skanking and stomping around with the odd mince pie chucked in.
We'll be fresh from our South West mini tour and it'll be the last chance to catch us play before we go into hibernation to record our new album at the beginning of the new year...we may even give you a sneaky taster of what's in store...it's gonna be fat and funky for sure. We're planning knocking 2009 on the head with a bang so please come down and experience us burning off all the calories we've got and lifting the roof in a proper stomping party stylee.
It's hopefully gonna be rammed so please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, and they're cheaper!

Hey! We've added a new demo here on our page. Its of a track we've been playing called Little Lost Lamb. Do please feel the noise and give it a show! x Thanks x
bumped into Dave in Taj the other day, wanted to tell the rest of you how much I love the album and really how much it saddens me that I will probably never see a band like yours again, let alone one that initiates a giant game of musical chairs during a gig! anyway peace and transdimensional love
