About Me



Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

This Machine have been playing together for just less than a year. We've developed our sound and are looking forward to taking it out to as many people as possible in 2008.

We're currently after some gigs. Love to hear from any of you that'd be interested in having us play.

We've just about finished our first demo now, and we hope to be giving some out at gigs soon. Please get in touch if you'd like to know any more.
