About Me

&nbsp



We named ourselves after a neil young song, and that's as good a place to start as any. We're a four piece from south london, and we met at art school. We play nu-folk, americana, alt-country, and we don't have a drummer, so we fall somewhere in the middle. James and Ben alternate between lead vocals, Laura adds the harmonies, the two guitars intertwine, and Elliot, on bass, holds it all together. We've tried our hardest to sound like a mixture of all the people we love, and if we've succeeded you'll hear the influences of gomez, bright eyes, cat power, josh rouse, ryan adams, rilo kiley and many others. Check out the gigs page for past and future dates, and you can hear us for yourselves on the music page. Thanks for checking us out.
