Hexicon started as three man voice/guitar/french horn combo in 2004 and got told they sounded like a lo-fi Beach Boys. They expanded when Mike, Paul and Tom were joined by Andy and Greg, the rotating drummer tag-team and Giles who was a total bass-head.Before the rhythm section joined the other guys started making a record, playing all the bits themselves as Greg recorded and mixed. It's coming out pretty soon. Hexicon recorded more songs at Soup Studios soon after. 'Narissa I Won't' and 'Sweet Things' were planned for release as a single, and they are waiting patiently.Hexicon have so far played on bills with some of their favourite people including James Yuill, Fireworks Night, Esiotrot, Darren Hayman, Fanfarlo and SFA. Rob Rotifer took them out on a tour of Austria in 2006 to play some shows alongside Fuzzman and himself.Members of Hexicon tend to crop up in other bands like Allo Darlin, and Tom's Horn can be heard on Darren Hayman's most recent records.
