About Me

NEWS
EP2 is on its way, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a long time in the making but the hour is nearly upon us. At the Flea Pit on 14th May 2008 we launch EP2. To celebrate, we've brought together all our favourites bands under one roof, Kite Season, Yo Zushi & Sancho!!! Click here to listen to them all (myspace page- new window).
HISTORY
The Recent Future was formed by Samir Eskanda (vocals/guitar) and Lewis Osahon (drums) in the summer of 2006. Matt Pettit (guitar) and Neil Pickett (bass) completed the line-up this year. In 2007/8 we started to gig regularly in London- all the usual places, Purple Turtle, Dirty South, Nambucca etc...
In April 2008 we launched our own night, Recent/Future Sounds @ The Flea Pit , Shoreditch. A different headliner every month, with us in residence. We're working with bands we love, and trying to make a space for what we like to do.
Support independent music! Listen to it.
