A Boy Called Doris

The Mega Bus Tour - October 2007

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

Imagine, if you will, a chance meeting between Lou Reed, Mazzy Star and the Couteau Twins at a Northern folk club. Armed only with a Tandy handheld tape recorder and a £5.99 microphone from Dixons, you attempt to capture the results...[The summer daze/days* of 2004] A boy called Doris, a girl named Spanner and an indescript bass player known only as Rah form a band. They like rolling tobacco, recording in back bedrooms in the early hours and the several small villages that are scattered around the Manchester conurbation... particularly Rawtenstall.
Together they make sun kissed fragile pop songs about monkeys, Shakespeare plays and odd ball Mancunians; drenched in girl-boy-girl vocals, chimy acoustic guitars and firmly rooted pop sensibilities.
