   About the hat
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.

It's the end of our 23 date UK festival tour tommorow and there's nothing better to do in a 500 mile radius than to get down to middle farm to celebrate the apple harvest. Drink vast quantities of local cider, hang out with the farm creatures and listen to the best bands in the south east! It's £7.50 per day and well worth it!

LINE - UP....
SATURDAY 12pm The Magic number... 1pm Boys in the wood... 2pm The Resonators... 3pm Django Spears... 4pm King Porter Stomp...
SUNDAY 12pm Peanut Albinos... 1pm The Curst Sons... 2pm The Anteaters... 3pm Shofar Allstars... 4pm Kalakuta Millionaires...

Here's a promo vid from last year's bash with a rather tasty soundtrack.

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

Exotic instruments like the alfaia, berimbau and the pandeiro (Brazilian tambourine), bass and guitar blend harmoniously with all with laptops, moogs and other synths, the result is an extremely dynamic and versatile live act. Formed by Boni (programing / bass), Luis Valente (guitar, vocals) and Pedro Campolina (Percussion) Come down and enjoy something unexpected! FREE ENTRY the whole night.

Totally Gutted!  Brighton won't be the same without you.  I have been away and I come back to this!  But how do we get a copy of the album if we missed the last (sniff) gigs...? xxx
