permanent slow fade
formed in April 1999, completed
by the arrival of vocalist
Brigid
.
Other members,
Andrew
(guitar),
Michael
(bass) and
Adrian
(drums) had already played together in various groups.
Perfecting the musical equivalent of Zen motorcycling, or perhaps darts, the three instruments are, (for an old punk I HATE to say this), 'tight'. Think the Who Live at Leeds, Booker T and the MGs, the Pixies, Portishead. Dig?
Brigid's voice and attitude brought a soulful influence to the band. Obviously (or hopefully) our influences show in our songs: the Beatles, Who, Motown, Electric Prunes, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Love, Stone Roses, Stereolab and Portishead amongst others. Everyone likes a pigeonhole....
...but who do YOU think we sound like?
We've gigged at The Hope and Anchor, Bull and Gate , Dublin Castle, Monarch, River Bar etc - you know, you were probably there. The band played songs so laid back and quiet that the audiences were sometimes louder than the band - that was probably you too. But there's more, we rock too... see us soon.
And here's our first CD. Three songs...
RED EARTH
,
JEALOUS WOMAN
and
SPANISH GIRL
.
£2 each (+50p P&P). Try a 'taster' from these audio samples.
So listen (loud) and enjoy.
Does it make sense now?
