About Me

We are quite possibly the laziest band in the world, however, the sparks of genius which occurs between the cups of tea and smoking breaks have driven on our efforts to deliver the sound of our creations to the public domain.

The intended hiatus by our guitarist George has motivated to hit the music hard over the few months. Once we reconvene in september following our much deserved summer holidays we plan on recording and gigging to beat the band until George's departure at the end of October, as he heads off to sample the cultures of Ozzie life.

By the way, Lawrence in the Rough Cut Lounge who recorded "On My Mind" for us is after setting up a myspace for himself. Check it out: www.myspace.com/roughcutlounge
