About Me

Numberland was officially recognised on the 27th October 2005 in small room above a pub in Sheffield. The unification process began a year previously over a series of meetings in another small room (this one above a living room and kitchen). During these meetings musical discussion took place; one party would sing and play the guitar whilst the other hit upon a drum kit. After several symposia, a third party was sought to provide an equivocal, balanced, novel perspective on proceedings (but mainly to play bass). Numberland is but a toddler nation, wet behind the ears, blinking in fear and wonder at the promises and pitfalls the world offers. However, with hope, understanding and a youthful constitution on it's side, it aims to persist for the mutual benefit of both its constituents, and, of course you, the fans, for as long as it is righteous and worthy to do so. So there.
