About Me

Knight's Move Thinking have been around in one form or another, formerly under the name of Halcyon, since roughly 1998 (we think). Only 2 original members survive; Mike, who was initially on lead guitar and Alan on lead vocals & guitars, with the legend that is Robbie joining on bass in 2001. After various drummers came and went Mike took up the mantle of sticksman, as we realised that really we've kinda been a three piece all along...
One review described our sound as "...understated urgency...". If anybody has any idea what the f*ck that means, we're all ears :)
The music is written by all three of us, to various degrees.
Pre order out debut album (release date 2008) for £5 + £2 p+p:

Alan and Robbie met a guy last Saturday night. It felt quite fateful; we went to a gig to see a band (The Enigma Design), but were late due to rubbish taxi, so missed the first two or three songs. Tur...
