About Me

Falling and Laughing: There are some songs playing that we perform. We hope that you enjoy them, feel free to download!!

Falling and Laughing are two piece indiepop band from Birmingham, UK.
Well, I say indiepop, but I also kind of think that every band should have it’s own completely made up genre though just to show what a pointless exercise the whole slicing of music into little bits is. Plus it’s fun coming up with daft genre names - come up with one for your band (or if you’re not in a band, form one, come up with a daft genre name and start plotting what instrument you’ll play in them)!
So let’s try that again.
Falling and Laughing are a two piece chordgazing band from Birmingham, UK.
Though to be honest must people would just call us indie.
Releases :-
So far a track called Thank You Daniel has been released on Accidental: An Odd Box Records Sampler
There's plans afoot for a download single on Odd Box Records later this year, and an EP called Bunnyhood in January 2010.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 22/03/2006
Band Website: prospectingdistantsystems.co.uk/
Band Members: Dunc sings and plays guitar, sometimes he likes to sing and play guitar on his own at acoustic nights but he also likes to sing and play his guitar with Darryl who plays drums. This is handy as two piece bands are dead fashonable and that.Falling and Laughing also have a bassist emeritus called Stu, who lives in Belfast, not Birmingham, which is why he's a bassist emeritus and not a bassist.
Influences: The Autumn Store play list

Sounds Like: Sonic Youth on Sarah Records crossed with Jens Lekman fronting The Wedding Present, or, trying to name drop cool references in the sounds like section without being like any of them, or, Daniel Kitson - who doesnt even sing, or, chordgazing (it's a bit like shoegazing), or, The Field Mice being slightly miffed about something but acting fine about it, or, doncaballerogopop or, borrowing Sufjan Stevens-esque song naming trickery for my amusement in the "Sounds Like" section on myspace.

Type of Label: Major

I've just found this on Youtube and it's reminded me of just what a great TV show it was. I had to share. dx
