the brilliantly simple. started out as a one-man experiment of loop pedals and sample pads. Through obvious restrictions and the longing for that full-band essence, a four-friend collective formed what it is today – an abrasive indie rock outfit from in and around the Surrey Hills. Without claiming to be innovative, we endeavour to deliver a pleasing concoction of big sounds with occasional climax, tranquil breakdowns and meaningful lyrics. We wholly hope you enjoy it.x


Nothing finer by the brilliantly simple

Monday 8 November 2010

Why, hello there...

Well. October is done with and what a fun month it was. Seeing as it was the first attempt on our part to really venture out there and play a bunch of shows, it went categorically well.

Notable highlights have got to be The Swan in Ipswich with Los. Horsham’s BOTB. Demon FM in Leicester. Enticing new, friendly acquaintance (albeit with noodles) Del Noble to the Boileroom, Guildford.

I think the main consummation was just being in new (as well as familiar) places, meeting new people and playing our songs with as much conviction as we could muster and getting such flattering feedback.

Next on the agenda is to get the new CD, Trees, done and dusted. Dan and Si are heading back into Peak Recordings this week to meet up with Chris and try and put the finishing touches to it. The artwork is pretty much there and printing negotiations have begun.

We’ve been asked to donate our track, Limerick to an autumnal compilation, compiled by indie set-up, Well Weapon Records. There will be more details on this soon, as well as more exciting news regarding a track from Trees.

We’ve got two more shows this month and after those, we disappear until January. The first is being promoted by myself and Greg, and it’s going to be awesome. Please find the event page HERE.

The second is at The Rest Is Noise, Brixton, supporting ones to watch, The Neat. Promoted by Monkeysuit Music, it’s sure to be a great evening. It’s FREE, too.

Perhaps we’ll see you at one of those shows, perhaps we won’t. Either way, thanks for reading this. Make the most of the current tracks up on the myspace, as they’ll soon be long gone.

Love.
