In August we will be playing at Standon Calling, a very funky little festival near London. Should be sweet as !!! (Chk Chk Chk) are playing (we used to get down to there liquid basslines every Friday night a couple of moons ago!) as well as the wandering trooper Willy Mason. Good times x
We are very happy to announce our next single, ‘Old Scenes’ will be released digitally on the 5th of July, available at all major outlets.
The track will be a double A side with ‘Freedom’ and the two songs will be available digitally through our second family istartedthefire Records from all major outlets, so make a note in your diaries!
Artwork is by the lovely Rosie Moss, who you could say in some ways our 6th member, we love her work. The tracks are taken from our forthcoming EP due in Autumn. More details when we have them!

We played with Cheltenham wild boys Jim Lockey and the Solemn Sun last night at the guild hall in Gloucester and to say we had an amazing time is an understatment. It’s such a nice venue to play at and we we’re lucky enough to have all 6 of us playing! Defo check out there new album ‘Death’, it’s bold and brashy and deserves to be heard!
We also opened up with Cheltenham’s darling boy, Andy Oliveri for whom we have a lot of love for so it was great to be involved with that as well!
We then drove to Oxford to play at St Hughes ball, which was quite a contrast to the night previous show. We looked like tired scruffs! but thanks to all that watched….they had flipping carousels and Dodgems? mental!
Next up…..Mayhem in The Meadow Festival!

(p.s, we also had the amazing Emma Geddes on French Horn! how good is that!)
We had the joy of playing in a Treehouse yesterday!? it was lovely. Here’s a video of us playing a newish song ‘Loyal Light’ at Paul Murphy’s Songwriters Cafe
