Band Members: Alex Beynon (drums), Andy Clift (singing), James McQueen (bass), Miles Jordan (guitar).
Influences: The melodic marvellousness of the well crafted popular song. Bruce Thomas, Lemonheads, Hem, Steely Dan, The Doors, Beach Boys, modern bands who went to see Brian Wilson and think he is great, Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategy, Midlake, The Earlies, Grandaddy, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Elvis Costello (obviously the classic early period when he still used to make funny films), Lloyd Cole, David Bowie, Deerhoof, The Rolling Stones (paint it black you devils), The Poseurs, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Magnetic Fields, Frank Sinatra, Transmitters, Jeff Tweedy, REO Speedwagon, Scott Walker, Pizzicato Five, Lyle Lovett, The Wondermints, Blue Aeroplanes, The Bluetones, XTC, Lullaby Baxter Trio, The Carpenters, Judas Priest, Not Quite Scene, Squeeze, Orange Juice (have you heard the guitar solo in Louise?), The Charlatans, Talking Heads, The Feeling, The Fratellis, lots of others from the 21st century, I can only think of DJ Otzi at the moment and OBVIOUSLY not him. Is Les Dennis in a band?
Sounds Like: The sound you hear standing behind a waterfall, but with a verse, chorus, verse, bridge bit, solo chorus, chorus and fade. The climb to this waterfall is along well maintained paths, stepped and with hand rails over the difficult bits. Who says we don't look after you? Sometimes if you are lucky you will see bats flying in the middle of the day.
