About Me


In the crosshairs of paparazzi. we are almost as famous in cardiff as the child-prodigy antiques expert transvestite but definitely not as famous as ninjah. we write songs about boredom, ambition, hope, boozing and the disappointment of adulthood among other things and sometimes there are no words at all. we play gigs and we all live together doing mundane jobs while we dream of better things. we are multi-skilled; ben can grow a hearty beard, henry draws an excellent snake, tom can stay up past 1 o'clock sometimes and dave can speak a bit of french when he's drunk.
here is a big budget hollywood music video for an inpromptu jangle wot we did called 'superheroes of light entertainment'. enjoy, if you like.
