About
Theatrical, playful, and melancholy like "gypsy Rose Lee meets David Bowie" this Folk Noir duo exploded into a fivepiece in 2008 and have been touring their original material to critical acclaim. They were Christmas Number One in the Myspace Folk Charts last year, were featured on Radio Caroline and on the soundtrack to Colin, the UK indie Horror, and they came 2nd out of 60 bands in the Vince Power battle of the bands Benicassim competition, and have built up a sizeable London/festival following and party/DJ and radio play around the world. Ones to Watch.
