La Frange 2003 - 2008
Well, La Frange are calling it quits after 5 fun-filled years. Thanks to everyone who supported us throughout this time; we really enjoyed it and think it's no too immodest to say that we had a few real storming gigs and realeased a fairly good single (still available on itunes folks).
The boys are off to pastures new and are looking forward to indulging in some of their other favourite pastimes (other than rocking out and pig farming). Ed will soon win the booker prize, jim will become prime minister and ben will drink obscene amounts of earl grey tea.
Huge love goes to: Jim S, Rich S, Chris (absolute legend), Will, Flora, Alice, Ruth, Sarah, Suzy, Meredith, Sol, Zoe B, Bryan W, Shrag, Christ Almighty, Simon + Jen Cable, Emily + Mr Tim, Kendall, Mr Minns, Glover, Chris T-T, Gav (who said we did one of his top 5 gigs ever!), Sam, Helen, Neenor, Wonky Beak, The Mojo Fins, Rohan, Jon and Andy (we miss you), Stephen B, Laurence, The Cover Girls, Amy, Alex, Lec, Ant, Dorian, Jen Wood, Emma, Borbonesa crew, Gary, Rupert + Laura, Plum Promotions, The Pipettes, British Sea Power, Tones, Cottonmouth, The Poppycocks, Transformer, Laura, Jane Bartholomew, Stuart at Red Room, The Rock Goblin, Grizzly Giant, Ridder, Joe + Mike, John Hutchings, Rock n Roll Cinema, Ben R, Velocity Recordings...

'with the wit and humour of Art Brut but better tunes...Fashion is a gloriously repetitive mocking of tight-jeaned sheep. It's catchy as net-raising day on a trawler' - Source Magazine
'[La Frange] have a hefty arsenal of deadly-catchy pop songs behind them, of which Fashion is the first to make it onto plastic. A few plays at the right indie discos and this could become a minor anthem' - BBC Collective Magazine
'one of the debut singles of the year' - Velocity Recordings
