About Me

In 2007 a circus ringmaster captured three feral children - two from London, one from Portsmouth- and entrapped them in a big top tent for 6 months. During this time he forced them to make fairground music on primitive instruments (drums/keys/guitar), before releasing them back into the wild. Emerging from beneath their matching fringes, the trio decided to unleash what they had learnt on the world, going on to support Los Campesinos!, Lovvers and Jenny Hoyston. They are about to embark on a tour of the UK with Vile Vile Creatures.
