Sons of Doob

About Me

The Sons of Doob first made music together in 2005/6...but then TommyPiefingers buggered off to Australia to escape the wilds of London. The tune they had made together in a day or so before this departure travelled with Tommy in CD format for months and months before being played to a bunch of people who all really liked it...The same tune was well received by listeners to Tommy's radio show on BondiFM...'Hmmm...maybe there's a future for us in this crazy business' was the resulting train of thought...on returning to lovely lovely Oxford from down under eager to get back to making music there was a problem...no 5mmJack...for he had himself buggered off to Brazil...after months of patient waiting the duo were reunited and music has been tumbling out of dodgy equipment ever since...The beginning is a very good place to start.

Living the "Dream"
