About Me


News! 01/10/08 After recording during September, we've just finished our new EP! It has four brand new songs and should be available from Matinée some time in November. There is a preview available to listen to in our music player above, the song is called Correspondence Course.
You can buy BADGES now, if you want to. They're over
Our previous release on Slumberland Records is an awesome coloured vinyl 7" split single with The Company (who are Roy Moller , Stevie Jackson from B&S and Gary Thom from Astrid).
It's a previously un-released song from us called Flaxen-Haired Boy, and a glam stomper from The Company called Join The Dots. This is the first in a series of split singles from Slumberland under the title 'Searching For The Now'.
