Avoided using X for a while due to skewed annalytics & random muddled ideals of the owner.
We opened it in error. Thought it was an exchange app 🤪
Moving on..
Our approach is to keep an open mind, avoid conflict & encourage creativity to celebrate life / love.
Anyone missed us?

Very pleased to announce that Ryan Fisherman will be playing with us on keyboards and percussion for this show.

big thanks to Leather Jacket for supporting the Sundae Painters and Playthings releases - both rapidly sold out of their 1st pressings of vinyl. Good news is 2nd pressings are now available and what better time to buy than BANDCAMP FRIDAY. Vinyl or digital

@WFMU Fantastic. I’ll add the photos to our slide show on a big LED Screen at Hamish’s exhibition that starts on the 8th March 2024.
