About Me

FOR BOOKINGS EMAIL: [email protected]
When Steve had no friends within 5 miles, it was winter and his job was in a room with no windows and no human contact, he bought a delay pedal and a 4-track. Armed with the Argos drumachine he'd had since 13 he began to write some tunes. He never finished those early tunes, but he does nowadays.
After releasing an EP which somehow made it's way to record shops as far flung as Moscow and Chicago, and hearing the single from that EP played on the same XFM programme as Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips and Sebadoh amongst others, he realised that finishing songs was good.
