About Me

little baby cheeses were brought to life in 2006 when singer/songwriter Colin Miles developed a set of songs in the tradition of new wave artists such as Joe Jackson and Elvis Costelloassembling the new band, Colin turned to musicians and long time friends Matt Ferguson (guitar, vocals), Dave Dawson (bass), and Joe Herzberg (drums) to create an innovative and electrifying ska-pop soundlittle baby cheeses have now played 50 gigs and shared the bill with some of the oldest (The Beat) and freshest (New Town Kings, This is Seb Clarke) names in ska and new-wavewith original material well into double figures and an extensive repertoire of imaginative cover versions, the cheeses make even the most sceptical start skanking
