Band Members: Our Current Roster:
Todd Mckenzie
A talented, innovative multi-instrumentalist (although he'd never
agree to calling himself a musician) and true wordsmith, Todd's unique
sound has developed over the past couple of years into a mature, well
rounded and extremely varied style. Covering a range of musical bases
sitting somewhere within leftfield hip hop, electronica, traditional
songwriting and even pieces with a soundtrack/soundscape ambience. As
such he has an unforgettably deep, beautifully produced feel that is
both engaging and thought provoking in equal measure.
'A very interesting subject indeed'.
Smoke Fairies
Composed of two very intriguing members Katherine and Jessica, the Smoke Fairies sound is of purity and delight. Using a gentle folky sound with a whimsical, dreamy air they manage to convey the everyday trials and tribulations of life, love and living in the big wide world today. Coupling this with a bluesy, authentically country feel and the duo’s angelic, drawling vocal style results in a uniquely blissful yet strangely gritty and urban air to their music. Mostly melancholy but with moments of uplifting and heartfelt happiness their sound gets into your head and you can easily find yourself drifting off into their special world... But these words may not do them justice...
Remote_
Mike Oliver. Deep, minimal, lush and intimate... The same could and will be said about his music. Bare witness to his unique style of personal techno that is at the same time introverted yet fully prepared for the dance floor, the subtle production catching you unaware resulting in an inevitable inner movement... A description just as beautifully minimal as the music?
Falecity
With a good deal of live experience, at both prestigious and humble venues, Falecity ["Fah-less-city"] push forth and even innovate classic questions of love, loss and understanding. A diverse outfit, Falecity have very much their own sound and it is truly broad. From spoken word to traditional ballad, they echo our belief in sincerity. A beautiful melancholic touch to all of their works together with intense moments of distortion and voice leaves for quite a touching experience.
Luke Rosier
He writes songs because they makes sense to him, because words and melodies make pretty happy bedfellows, and because it means he can add to the great sea of songs which we all swim within. He trusts and values the sturdy tools of pen and paper in this process, and a tape-recorder if handy. He is 5ft 11", slightly built, with possible French heritage and a love of the great outdoors. He now lives in London, and rides about on a variety of soon-to-be stolen bicycles. He would like to make a living out of making music, but worry it might drive him mad. Or make him disconcertingly happy...
Gentle with an upbeat nature, Luke Rosier songs could easily bring joy to anyone's heart however grumpy they claim to be.
