Brief Biography.
Met in Cardiff and used to be a much bigger band but now whittled down to the bare essentials. Now based in London with satellites in Oxford, Reading and Stoke. Finally forging a sound that defines us.
Musical style/description/quotes.
"A healthy shot of humour injected into elephantine beats". Somewhere between the bouncy and the twisted with phantom guitars.

3am, Club code, going on stage absolutely furious for waiting and playing the final number incredibly loud with a 10 piece plus Irish band called 'Different Drums'.
Longest hour.
Immigration detention centre, Tokyo airport 1999, waiting forever to hear if we would have to get back on the plane we'd just been on for 13 hours.
Shortest hour.
A dazzling and heaving Notting Hill Carnival set

The Kaoss Pad
Itchiest irritation.
