Hi all,

May greetings!
We have a gig coming up in the heart of Brick Lane, East London.
Raf and O will be joining the lovely Foulkestone on Sunday 26th May at The Full Stop Coffee Bar, thanks to Jude Cowan Montague, for a night of live music and poetry.
For this occasion, we thought about presenting a couple of different songs, one super fresh, written last week!
It won’t be the full set up, but not fully stripped down either!

Come join us this Sunday, see/ hear for yourself. Details on the LIVE PAGE.

Here is one more video courtesy of Luigi Altilia from our launch at Cafe OTO back in April.

Hi folks!

Lots happening!!!

Having spent all of 2012 closing the live shows with our rework of David Bowies ‘Lady Grinning Soul from the seminal album ‘Aladdin Sane we are finally releasing it ahead of our new album. We’ve had some thoroughly excellent feedback from live audiences, so we are celebrating this as well as Bowie’s return!! Being long standing fans of his work and Raf a complete Bowie nut means we are buzzing!
It will be released as a package containing the studio version of ‘Lady Grinning Soul, ‘The Fog‘ and a wicked Remix of the latter courtesy of the brilliant three piece post-dubstep/ electronic band Nedry. More details on this soon.

In the meantime, here is a video of a live version of ‘Lady Grinning Soul’ from the Lewisham Arthouse show – massive thanks to Luigi Altilia for filming.

The launch is to be taking place at CAFE OTO on April 1st promoted by the wonderful Klarita from Kaparte Promotions – great venue and great bill!  
We will be opening for Larsen (15 years of avant/ experimental activity) on their European Tour feat. legendary dub-diva Little Annie (a.k.a. Annie Anxiety Bandez), who has recently released her autobiography.
