Kickin' it ancient

About Me

The Encyclopedia rock band from Yeovil, Somerset, UK. That's us. Now we just write songs and play them. Oliver and I started the band. We're still named after the book of the same name.

There'll be new recordings up soon and gigs as well. If you like us, don't tell your friends. You remember how great it feels when you find a new band you like and no one else knows?
Management & Booking: For all inquiries please contact Jane and Mark [email protected] or [email protected] . We'd like to play for you.
