Gentle Friendly

Gentle Friendly are a London-based band consisting of David Maurice (vocals, keyboards) and Richard Manber (drums, keyboards). They play explosive music that was described as "kaleidoscopic claustrophonics"[1] and "as arresting as it was evasive".[2]

Gentle Friendly formed in 2007 whilst David attended university in London. Morris found a drunk kit in a skip along with a large amount of high quality coffee [3] and after several caffeine-fueled sessions in his basement the pair began to play live. Early lo-fi basement recordings were sold at shows on home-made cdrs and released on the Esses Together/Blast Debris (Debris from Blasts Had 1968 - 2008) cassette by Stop Scratching in October '08. The following month No Pain In Pop released the Night Tape e.p., recorded in a remote cottage on the Wales/Shropshire border,[4] on 7". Their debut record, Ride Slow, was released by Upset The Rhythm in November '09.
