About Me

hello! We are daddy long legs.

we are a skronky three piece pop band from london town. we sing honest songs about growing up in suburbia, getting on the city, and fighting inertia with mental powers. we enjoy harmonising and whooping, and we love to crank it out with our amps on eleven.

we live for playing live and pride ourselves on being twisted, melodious and ferociously tight. we think it's what we do best of all, and we want you to come along and join in the fun. for if you join in, you are part of daddy long legs too, and when YOU get down, daddy long legs gets down.

BBC news magazine had this to say about daddy long legs: "there is no escaping them, lolloping around and battering into every window, wall, light and person that gets in their way". can't argue with that.

daddy long legs has finished now. thank you.
