[edit] Biography
Four 17/18 year olds with guitars, synths and wacky vocalist. They formed in 2005 having been school pals in York. Although they all live in York, most of their gigs have been in and around Leeds, including putting in a few gigs at the Cockpit. Other appearances include gigs in Sheffield, Liverpool, Doncaster, Harrogate, Tadcaster and La Scala, Kings Cross, London. Having supported Morning Runner and The Maccabees + many others, they were 1 of the 30 bands selected to take part in the Futuresound 2007 Competition in Leeds for unsigned bands.
[edit] Discography
Their demo CD is currently doing the rounds. Featuring 'Take pills, make films', 'Knife the wife' and 'Running with scissors', this demo shows off the band at its best - full of energy, with intertwining guitar melodies, sardonic vocals, hypnotic synths, biting syncopated guitar chords, driving bass lines, brilliant drilling drumming and sizzling cymbals.
[edit] Videography
The band have a video for "Running with Scissors" circulating YouTube. The video was due to have 2 shoots but the 2nd one didn't happen due to time constraints, so the rest of the video (only half was filmed) was pieced together with unused and reused footage, disguised with effects.
