About Us
We write songs that tell stories. There are 4 of us - Chris, Ian, Sarah and Toby - and here are some super-interesting facts about us...
-
One of us spent several years working as a scientist, studying wolves and butterflies in Scandinavia.
-
Another of us (maybe more than one of us actually), has a worrying obsession with dangerous power tools and is surely a master carpenter in another life.
-
We met through an ad in our local record store / coffee shop and we played our first gig at the same venue.
-
One of us was so scared of fire as a child, that the school asked his parents to come in for a meeting so they could ask whether he'd ever been trapped in a burning building.
-
One member of the band is also a DJ, who produces their own electronic music.
-
Sarah's guitar is the most coveted instrument we've ever known.
-
So far in our Biscuit World Championship, the caramel Kit Kat is winning. Gold Bar a close second.
-
We firmly believe 7 string guitars are an abomination.
-
One of us was once working on the door of a club in London. It was a quiet night, and they were passing the time between customers by reading Nick Cave's biography. Someone approached and asked for directions. It was Nick Cave. Strange.
-
Other honourable mentions for one member's very unhealthy cheese addiction, Chris' scary tendency to crash into trees on mountain bikes, a special singing skill we've named "Goblin Voice" and people asking Sarah if they can see a photo of her shed. Oh - and the fact we all like different Quality Street (including one of us liking the orange creams!?!?!!), so we make the perfect team when demolishing one of those big Christmas size tins. You're welcome to gift us one if you want to. We won't complain.
If you want to find out who's who, come and see us live. We'll be very nice to you.
