The Atomic Penguins

About Me

Formed on a Friday, named by a fishmonger. this band has started a musical revloution, well... I say started I mean the revolution has begun...it just hasn't revolutionized much yet!!

After three line up changes and many months of Ed Goodson and Nathan Willcock saying to each other "when are we going to do this band thing?" the penguins finaly seem to be getting somewhere.

They started as a proper band with a drum kit and everything but found that people laughed whenever they steped on stage so now there an acoustic comedy duo with plans of one day going to the edinburgh frnge and playing the Gulbenkian Theatre. Please Book us if you have work where play anywhere for anything!
