About Me

Debut album "Blonde. Drunk. Brilliant." is available for purchase at www.herculesmandarin.co.uk priced Â£8.99.And so it started.... Whilst not walking about Glasgow Airport, that guy that sings noticed that guy that hits those things hitting those things that makes him walk with those things that you hold that thing that you need to drive a car with.A brief conversation cemented their musical destiny.Some two years later, whilst dredging the murky streets of Cambuslang for sugarcane, they happened upon that woman that plays that thing with the bow, who also loves music. And rum.A few short months later, that guy that also plays those things with six strings answered an SOS call to appear at the SOLD OUT ALBUM LAUNCH AT NICE N SLEAZYS in that place with the 'G' postcode. Also onstage for the first time that night was that other woman, who also sings.Then, in the freezing winter of '07, whilst caught up a gumtree, the guy that sings (aka Mandarin) met that guy that plays that thing with four strings....And so it continues...New album is scheduled for release late summer 2008.Keep dancing.
