About Me

Reaching outer space through songs and harmony are where we're at. We spent our first six months writing, rehearsing, finding a rehearsal space, losing it and defining our sound which draws influences from the likes of Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Band, and Skip Spence(or maybe that one's just me!).The songs on this page are from 2 of our 4 track cd's both recorded with Stu Simpson of Kyoto + feature Mike Davies of Sine Star Project on Pedal Steel (& sleazy electric guitar on the new cd). Neon Light & 100 to Drown are from our latest cd!This is now available to buy. Either drop us a line and let us know that you want one or when you come to one of our gig grab one of us. They retail at 40 shillings!
