Band History

Diggi (influenced by the likes of Silverchair, Blind Melon, & oursleepwalkinghero) & Nick (by Guns 'n' Roses, Jimmy Eat World & The Cure) often brought their instruments together in song, but there was just not enough there - it wasn't 'right'.

So they asked fellow school-friend Astrid (a fan of Paramore, Mest & Phil Collins) to join them on vocals - they liked what they heard.

With Diggi & Astrid both contributing songs of their own previous work & co-writing new ones they soon created a large list of originals, together with a few choice covers.

They made a small debut at a bbq for Diggi's family before playing their first 'proper' gig at Discharge's Battle Of The Bands '06. They took a brief break over August '06 as most members were away on holiday, & they intend on joining with other local acoustic bands for gigs starting in early September.

The Future

They intend to record a CD before Astrid & Diggi leave for university in September 07', play as much as they can throughout the remaining year & maybe even re-uniting every once in a while when the members happen to be in the same place at the same time.

Their Favourite Gig

"Battle Of The Bands '06. It was our first, we were on first & suitably scared as our set only including two covers out of eleven songs, with most of the small audience never having heard the rest.

We pulled through, with a minimum of Diggi forgetting lines. Though I am sure we were nothing spectacular, we seemed to be appreciated & hopefully even liked by some."
