ABOUT

Biog:

What began as a modest, yet ambitious studio project, incorporating similar production values as Jon Hopkins, Nile Rogers and Cut Chemist, quickly developed into a seven-strong pop force releasing 6 well-received EPs throughout 2014/15. Their latest material showcases intelligent sophisti-pop, electronica, funkadelia and anthemic rock.

With diligent songwriting, the lyrics lovingly articulate personal experiences while finding humour in political and social despair. Collectively, the band soak up songcraft and live influences from Fleetwood Mac, The Band, The Beatles, Ryan Adams, Motown, Chic, John Coltrane, The E Street Band and Ben Harper.

The energised live show is where it really comes alive with rousing intent, hitting a resonant chord with each new audience. The band grabbed the attention of local media with BBC Introducing Lancashire showcasing a live radio session and BBC Cumbria playing a live recording of the group at Carlisle Music City.

Some intensifying sets at The Ferret, 53 Degrees and Night & Day left a lasting impression in Preston and Manchester, and last August they smashed it at Kendal Calling's Woodland Stage with new fans, feeding from the electric and infectious atmosphere, calling it one of the festival's highlights.
