London, UK four-piece. The songwriting talents of Matthew Woolf & James Hender combine to form an intelligent, sophisto pop/rock fusion with Wurlitzer, Harrison-esque guitars, prominent harmonies & progressive drumming. Formed in 2002 by long-standing friends/musical collaborators - Matthew Woolf (keyboards/vocals) & James Hender (guitar/vocals). They wrote a bunch of songs before recruiting Andrew Booker (drums/backing vocals/technical genius) and Michael Captain (bassist extraordinaire) via infamous "loot" ad, and honing their set playing some London club gigs.
