How did the band get started?
I was playing solo acoustic house shows for a couple of years and wanted to record an album before I started getting bored, so asked Bob to play drums on the record. Then Household Name Records were up for releasing it and Iona joined, then we went on tour and haven’t stopped.

Kind of like dancing…

Our new record I Feel Weird comes out this month, which we’ll be doing release show for on 16th May in London. Then a UK tour in June with The Sidekicks and EU tour with Sundials and Haters in July – I’m not sure whether we’re supposed to announced those yet.
