10.02.09 - New song on MySpace.
New song "Can't Go Home" is now on MySpace for your listenning pleasure. We wrote and recorded this song for our good friend Joe Simpson. Have a listen over at MySpace. We reckon you'll be dead impressed with Joe's paintings so please go and have a look at those too.

12.07.08 - Still here..... Honest.
We've been busy helping Magic Arm of late. An appearance on Marc Riley's 6 Music show and a Glastonbury set have kept us busy indeed. All this means we're a bit behind with our latest set of songs. Don't worry, we're working hard on new material now, including a song to accompany a painting by local artist Joe Simpson.

You can view videos of Magic Arm's Glastonbury set here:
