St. Helens

Anyone got any bad habits?
Hmm, playing too loudly, is being great a bad habit?!

What's the band's history so far?
We started out as State of the Nation a couple of years ago, and got some press on the bbc website, played several interesting gigs, including an aircraft hangar near Blackpool! We've changed the singer, the songs and the image, which is where we are now.... roughly!

Being invited by the band Doves to their soundcheck and to meet them

Playing St. Helens, washout, watched by relatives, dear friends and no one else

Next month at the Barfly in Liverpool, followed by an outdoor show in Oxford

Anything else we should all know about?
Not really, just listening to our music is the next step...
