Wilfully eclectic nine-piece art-rock ensemble from mid-Bedfordshire, fronted by artist Andy Holden with long-time collaborator Roger Illingworth. Lost for a few years but imminently to return with a new album, Love in the Misanthropocene, this time backed by a brass section and once again writing according to their teenage manifesto, which called for ‘Maximum Irony! Maximum Sincerity’. In the past they toured the U.K playing only DIY artist-run spaces and shared a bill with Einstürzende Neubauten at Austria’s Donaufestival. They also performed live with Damo Suzuki. Their single To a Friend’s House The Way is Never Long lingers as a rallying call.
