About Me

http://www.myspace.com/dsmu" .greetings all. we are downstairs mix-up, a boosh-named band hailing from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.*pauses for you to make underwater jokes*the band is made up of three charistmatic clouds of irresistable charm: Stu on vocals and guitar, Joe on Bass guitar, and Sam on drums. we're all gap year students and are supposedly making the most of our time off by practising as much as possible (which essentially, as of November 07, is just once a week, our all-time high). anywho, we're in the process of writing our own material to stick up on this cracking contraption, and although we don't have any recording facilities to speak of, our demos are hopefully good enough to give you a resonable impression of what we're aaaaalllll about.
and if that's STILL not enough then there's a very detailed influences section, which you may browse at your leisure.
keep checking the site for updates, new songs, new blogs, new gigs, and whatever else these youngsters in pop bands get up to these days.oh yeah, and if you want to give us free studio time or equipment or rehearsal facilities, we want to kiss you gently all over.

Henry's and "unwind"

Apologies for a half-hearted, dull performance at Henry's house, but the LAME crowd-rallying skills of Henry, combined with the LIES (regarding the music being turned off while we were playing) of Hen...
