About Me


Glytchvolk Musique Concrete

Thee Moths are sometimes several, often one. Since forming in 2000 the band has expanded and contracted as needs have dictated. These days Thee Moths is me and whoever I ask to help. The music is just as fractured as the line-up, with recordings and shows going from laptop glitching to acoustic folk as the mood takes.

These people have all been extra members of Thee Moths: Gav (drummer for first two shows), Kat (bassist for first two shows), Hilary (guitarist on first recordings), James (guitarist on first recordings), Ronnie Wallace (bassist on first recordings), Dominique Ferraton (singing, guitar, bass, violin...lot's of other stuff for a really long time), Angi (drums at Littlest Album launch), Duncan Roberston (bass at Littlest Album launch), Ant (drums during the summer 2002 shows), Peter Moug (guitar at the Kill Your Timid Notion Fringe), Neil McIntee (guitar at the Kill Your Timid Notion Fringe), Mike Lennie (bass and vocals), Kirstin White (vocals, clapping), Ross Trundlewheel (Trombone), Pete Liddle (Trumpet), Krissy Tower, Joe Merchant (drums), Kaye Brewster (vocals and violin), Christianne Ormston (vocals), Joe Howe (vocals, mixing and a load of other stuff on 'Beau Chien'), Milly Barnard, Zeph Owsley, Gaz Owsley, Adam Hits The Atmosphere (plus two of his friends), Adrian Orange, Meghan Crotty, Craig Pulsar, Emily Roff, Andy Bonar, Gerard Black, Michael Lambert, the audience at the 'Farewell Dundee' show, Erin Day, Alex Stubbs
