We want to make great music. Special music. Angry music, sad music, dance music, suggestive music, and anything else that gets us going music.
We want to put on intense, wonderful live shows where everyone is welcome, regardless of musical/social/sexual leanings.
Everything seems so terribly regimented these days, we want to do and create things that worry and excite us, and others
We are working towards making this happen, there are barriers. But we are happy to get our well creased slacks dirty to achieve everything.
In our musical life so far we have crammed in much. We have played shows with Idlewild, Jubilee, Nine Black Alps, !Forward Russia!, Mexicolas, The Departure, Drive By Argument, Neil's Children, Twin Atlantic, Ipso Facto and Art Brut, pluss many more .
Sometimes when it rains we all cram together under a blanket, pulled tightly across two chairs, and pretend that we are the last living humans. We tell stories of the good times, and share in the bad times. We light candles with the intention of telling ghost stories but more often that not end up burning down our childish love-shack, meaning that we are forced to fall back into reality, sheliding our eyes against the bright lights.
If we didn't have our dreams we would be nothing.
