ABOUT

We are a bunch of eclectos in taste and temperament and our influences are across the board - currently a trio (keyboard/accordion/vocals/songwriter, bass and guitar). We're looking for a drummer/percussionist and/or any melodic instrumentalist who can give us a little more of a sonic polish where need be. You should be human (or at least have some human parts) versatile, open-minded and have a healthy sense of the absurd. We play mostly originals with slightly tricky arrangements but we're hoping to find that a light-touch drummer who can commit to a few hours rehearsal every weekend. So far we've only played a few small scale gigs but we're hoping to play some regular venues on a semi-regular basis. We all have other life commitments so unfortunately, the music can't take first priority but it is something we love to do and want to continue doing to some capacity.
