we have now split up. partly due to a few of us moving abroad for a year. It probably would have happened anyway though, due to some people never ever really wanting it that much. i think that's fair. news about new things is sure to follow at the appropriate juncture.
dirtyhands are/were a band of students (kcl), who study by the river. philosophers, doctors, francophiles and classicists amongst our lot. the hustle and bustle of the city could be classed as an inspiration i suppose. nothing ever stops round here, and if you actually do stop in the street, somebody will probably just bump into you unapologetically. just keep walking. .
we have had the pleasure of playing with Pete and the Pirates, Bolt Action Five, The Matadors, Modernaire, Twisted Charm, Tiger Force, Innercity Pirates and Connan and the Mockasins amongst various other lovely musicians.

Sounds Like: "Could this be the positive side of Blair's tenure the historians will be looking for?" - John Kennedy , XFM
