Live Your Life Like You Are On Camera

About Me

It all started in a sleazy club night in Sheffield. A showdown of rock bitches, lipstick lesbians and weeping mascara as a Bold Street connection brought the two together. A marriage of literature and a meetings of minds, souls and bodies: Kate and Sophie met at University in the Capital of New Yorkshire. After a couple of years away their paths crossed again in this country's capital. Bobby fell from the sky one day, in a cloud of chemicals and pianos. Followed closely by Murpho, another dignitary from the Liverpool indie scene. The ‘trap have been evolving ever since, writing and recording songs tinged with heartache and hope, darkness and light. Always with a healthy dose of mischief.
