"Let a gale rise and swell into a storm, and let a sea run that might appal the stoutest heart that ever beat; let the light ships on the sands throw up a rocket in the darkness of the night; or let them hear through the angry roar the signal guns of a ship in distress."

We came together at the start of 2008 and have played many gigs throughout the South, together with a number of festivals, winning many friends along the way. Highlights have been The Small World Festival and Lounge on the Farm Festival. We have been asked to play Glastonbury and Secret Garden Party 2009 and hope to add more festivals to next years dates.
After a busy summer of festivals and gigs across the South, COCOS LOVERS have set sail for Europe where we will be travelling for the next six months, playing gigs, writing material, finding new sounds and making new friends.
The route so far - we have been to Belgium, Holland, Germany and are currently in the South Of France
