About Me

Right, first off we were born, then we grew up (a bit) and at present are currently still alive. We do lots of things that make us happy, for instance we do lots of art and music. Mind you we don’t always agree on stuff and like different things. For instance Ned likes the Sopwith Camel, Test Match Special and the phrase ‘dog yachting’, whereas Adam on the other hand has no interest in World War 1 fighter planes, Henry Blofeld or anything to do with dogs that have worms. Instead, he much prefers Darwin’s Origin of Species, The Wrath of Khan and monkeys and robots (better still robotic monkeys)… However, we do agree on a few fundamental things; 1. We both like tea although Adam opts for Tetley tea (it’s stronger), while Ned prefers Yorkshire tea (hard water as we live in London). 2. Trees and nature and stuff are pretty cool. 3. Adventures of any kind are pretty cool too. But more over, above and beyond all else; number 4. We both want to make tunes you need in your life and whatever their influences, meaning or concept they have to be dirtier than parading around the living room on all fours, naked except for a harness while someone, not dissimilar to a friends grandma rides on your back dressed in an ill fitting cat suit… Enjoy that thought and our music. Cheers…
