About Me


Sancho are an upbeat concoction with dark, playful lyrics. Sonically adventurous, ambiguous but direct, messy yet accessible. The sound has been compared to Dexy's Midnight Runners, Roxy Music, Serge Gainsbough, Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Pulp, Orange Juice, Scott Walker, Stereolab and Beefheart.
Sancho combine 50s doo-wap with early 80s pure pop, raw DIY aesthetics with subtle electronics and use it to songs that take in vampiric try-hards, sexually primed town councilors at war, lady murderessess, stowaways, ghosts, cheap cider and romantic entanglements on the battlefield.
Although starting out a few years ago as a bedroom electronic project with releases on Wagram, Superglider and Seed Records, Sancho has grown into a polysexual mutant, where boy-girl vocals alternately carress and fight walst downstairs brass, strings and accordions share an ex council tenancy with choppy rhythms and cheap guitars.

Happy 2008 everyone. The two biggest things in Sanchville at the moment being that recording of our new album Wait Don't Wait has finished, and secondly we have a new member.
Wait Don't Wait is ten tracks recorded on a shit laptop of full-on pop racket. The whole band have bought ideas into it. It's a proper album length (under 40 minutes) and is going to sound great on vinyl.
With Chris on his sabbatical we are joined by Andy on guitar duties. Andy maybe familar to some and even loved by a (sizeable) few. He owns his own Sly and the Family Stone drinks coasters. He records as Yufei Chowder
We will be playing live throughout the year

“This, the debut from Dorset nine-piece Sancho, is a truly gorgeous album. Their myspace page says they sound like ‘Making Love To A Church.’ Uh-huh. But this manages to combine some genuinely experimental sounds –enough to make you check the CD player is working properly, which is always a good thing-yet enough listenability and sheer wonderfulness to make it a great listen. Even on its first listen, it draws you in, and continues to do so. Largely instrumental, but this is no Ibiza chill album, rather a blend of some of the greatest maverick influences of the last fifty years." IS THIS MUSIC
"arrives with bags of dynamic self-confidence… A surprising, subtle and intoxicating 40 minutes, rather than the mysterious year of the title." ROCK-A-ROLLA
