About Me

The disparate elements that resulted in The Entity now known as 'of Arrowe Hill' initially coalesced in a warehouse in East London, springing from the errant conversations of exiled Northerners, way back during the final year of the last century.A one-sided 7" ("A Dull Today is Darker Yesterday's Bright Tomorrow") sleeved in a rubber-stamped brown paper bag and restricted to some 350 numbered copies, escaped the vigilance of the Secret Chiefs sometime around the first year of the 21st Century. This was followed, after a gestation of some 18 months, by another 7", this time with both sides left intact (the aptly titled "Gadfly Adolescence" b/w the bucolic "Cuckoo Spit").Rumours of the band's demise shortly after recording a session for the late Sir John Peel and the release of the debut album "The Spring Heel Penny Dreadful & other Tales of Morbid Curiosity" in May 2003, whilst attractive to some, where completely erroneous, as witnessed by the release of the sophomore record "Hexadelica and the Speed of Darkness", on Hallowe'en 2005. A limited edition one-sided 7" single 'Your Late Unpleasantness' (in poster sleeve) was released Monday 18th June 2007. Another track from their new batch of recordings, 'A Haunted House Ain't A Home' was featured on a cover-mounted cd for 'Classic Rock' in September 2007. 'Dulce Domum', of Arrowe Hill's third album (released by Ouija Board Entertainment on Bonfire Night 2007) is already being called their best to date. Fancy a little grave-robbing? Dig yerself.ModMySpace Profile Customizer /div
