We've been playing together for about two and a half years now, but have achieved as much as some bands do in two months. Despite this we keep going even after being geographically separated thanks to university. We're not really sure why we stick at it, but we hope you'll enjoy the results.
We're intending to put a fair bit of effort into recording some new songs (and some old songs) over the summer and maybe that'll end up becoming some kind of single or criminally short album or something like that.
If you're feeling especially helpful and want to offer us a gig we'd be happy to oblige if it's at all possible, simply send us a message here on Myspace. The most convenient places for us to play are currently between Bath and Cardiff but we can be easily convinced to travel, so don't let that put you off.
wow aren't you supporting some ace people soon! ehehehe.. sorry we didn't come on monday, we didn't actually find out about it until the next day, hope it went well! xx
THIS IS ON TUESDAY - BANDS START 7.50pm SHARP!
Please come early for the first 2 acts who are from the US, especially if you love your bands with loads of members like sax, clarinet, accordion, keys, trombone, vibraphone, percussion, marimba, violin, oboe..!
hey, we have a new home THE MODEL INN (upstairs) THIS FRIDAY 11TH JULY! there will be Twister.. lots of cool music, games, quiz, guest Djs, giveaways, zines, cakes + sweets, cheap drinks + OPEN UNTIL 2AM!!!
This week we'll also be playing our favourite tracks from selected albums including Fleet Foxes / Lykke Li / She and Him / Dennis Wilson / Speedmarket Avenue

oh no it got cancelled! i wish we'dve known, we could have stepped in after the session! but i would have been asleep... very tired.. we'll see you soon i'm sure! xxx
Good news for all I have confirmed a photographer to attend all shows, she will take lots of pics of each band and they will all be posted and tagged on here. If you are gonna be a part of our show can you please get as many of your fans and bands your friends with to add to this site and post comments about YOU before and after the gigs as ive been told by the record representative and festival advisors that this site will be their main source of communication and band research not just with me but with all involved. I will be releasing the first dates this week as all the venues I approached confirmed interest and in many cases asked for a running contract to make these shows a weekly or monthly thing at there venue and are negotiating discounted drinks for people who attend aswell!! The more people who join this page the better it is for all of us , I have shortlisted all who replied. Please message me if you have any questions
hey you, the freakshow poster says you're playing on monday 16th, not sunday 15th!!! we have a session that day but it might be over by the time you're on! x
you're playing on sunday too??!! oh no! what time are you on? i'd come to see you if i wasn't running the night, i kinda have to stay put at clwb oh well.
liking the extreme size of the poster by the way! let me know if you want a photobucket code for the baby size version of that so you don't annoy people with it! xx
Hi, zombies sounds cool. Shame about the other gig. It's hard as we always want to play different veneues and sometimes loose money in the event. Speak soon about something else though. Cheers Ross
Hey guys, been offered a gig in a nice small venue in Midsomer Norton. They said we could pick our own support band. I think you'd have a 25 min set and we'd have 30 min. Check it out and let us know what you think. Venue is called the Wunder Bar. Ross x
hello Zissou, ta for being friends! spaniel et spaniel like your tunes, we wag our tails and woof to it.. promise you will keep creating more for our listening pleasure.. love from the spaniels xxx
Yay thanks! We can't do any more touring till next year sadly because we've run out of holiday time but we're playing at guided missile at the buffalo bar in July - you could try asking the chap Paul that runs the night to let you play too? lisa bear xx
Hi guys, thanks for the request and comment. Just heard our Joy show is cancelled. A real shame. Not sure if there will be another date. Really looking forward to the Moles show. Hope you'll be coming along. Cheers Ross
i can't believe i'm going to miss you lot in newport tomorrow! argh. i almost asked you to play my gig actually but i guess that'll have to wait.. hope it goes well! xxxxx
Hey there, just a new project with the aim of promoting bands/organising nights and gigs that kind of thing. also the idea is so that bands can talk to each other... you never know what might happen, the world is a small place!! live the dream :)
