About Me

SOS
URGENT!!!! Help, we need a keyboard player and we need one as soon as. We can supply the gear (Organ, piano and amp, etc) but we just need someone in place before May. If anyone is interested please get in touch. Were based in Mid Wales around 40 mins from Shrewsbury, just over an hour from Brum or Manchester. Most of our gigs we head off in those directions, so it would be just rehearsals that might just have some traveling to do. But once the set/songs are in the bag, we can ease off, if distance is a factor. WE cover all costs and pay a small wage when feasible. We record the new album in June, short French and Belgium tour in May, our own Kippertronix fest in July, an Irish tour in August. Do the dog tour later in the year and entry into the Smoke like a Fish top trumps folk law all await you and a lot more.
With an up tempo two-toned Ska-popunkish attack, Smoke like a Fish from Mid Wales relentlessly pump the off beat with groove and aggression, behind brass splattered riffs, catchy choruses and social comment
After 2 EPs on our own Kippertronix label and a few appearances on various compilations, we sign to ..Do the Dog.. and release the self-titled debut album in April 2002. That is then followed by the ..Survival of the Hipest.. album February 2004. And last year, April 2005 an early years, demos, re-mixes and rarities album ..Heres one we made earlier.. was released.
