The Band came together at christmas time 2006 after Jonny, Matt and Crosby finished or quit university with Squidge shortly in tow and found Tariq, the drummer for the job, working at Music Zone Blackpool.. Told him to stop wastin his life in CD’s and here we are..
After rehearsing for 9 months at Berlin Recording Studios, Blackpool, the band played their first gig in September 2007 and have since played venues all over the North including.. The Cavern (Liverpool), The Roadhouse (Manchester), Ruby Lounge (Manchester), Night n Day (Manchester), Retro Bar (Manchester), The Castle (Oldham) to name a few..
We were also selected to play in the North West showcase for the Red Stripe Music Awards at The Underground Bar, Southport and we’re now set to play the Manchester MAPS festival in May.
We’ve currently decided to take some time out to write, rehearse and record new songs and come up with a fresh set for our next block of gigs later this year. So, there may be a gap in gig dates after the MAPS festival in May as were not seeking to book at the moment, for the better of the band (No pun intended)! All are welcome to our pre-arranged shows (above) and watch this space for our new demo and upcoming shows.
We’ve had a very positive start and thanks again to those who’ve come to see us for all your continued support..
Anybody interested in booking or promoting the band we’d be happy to hear from you for bookings later in the year.
Cheers

Squideman, how's your sleeping paterns at the moment? Just wondered if I could borrow your labour on Saturday morning for a bit of painting and decorating at chez Moon?
