About Me

[email protected] ............................................................ ........................................Originally a french term used to describe fallen women, as the 20th century dawned the term demimondaine became more commonly used to refer to the class of 'starving artists'- musicians, painters, authors, poets and other pseudo-bohemian types............This is a band from scarborough. Original but not in a hard-to-listen-to-way............Styling their own direction, which is all anyone can ever do, crossing over indie/punk/rock, with witty lyrics & sprinkles of melodic pop hooks....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................A previous review by Emma Robson: I WAS PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH A LOCAL PUNK BAND.. THOUGH NOT PLAYED MANY GIGS RECENTLY, THEY GOT LOADS OF SUPPORT FROM THE CROWD, AND PLAYED VERY WELL. THE WHOLE BAND PUT ALL THEIR EFFORTS INTO THIS SET, AND I THINK THEY WERE DEFINITELY ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WHOLE WEEKEND. courtesy of the BBC. MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
