We started in the early 1990s playing a punk folk hybrid. A politically aware band we wrote all our own material and had a good deal of critical (if not financial!) success with our first 3 CDs - "Cillataped", "The Last Fish Supper" and "Where the Skeletons Dance" - with an appearance at Glastonbury the high spot.
The band lost Grahame Hobbs (singer) and Mark Knight (fiddle) in 2001 and with Dick Langford (guitar) the only original band member left the last CD "From another Plaice" was a real departure from the previous "in yer face" style. Much more acoustic and darker both musically and lyrically.

Why this name?
It means "deceit" , "things not being as they appear" and we thought that was fairly appropriate.
Do you play live?
Not recently.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For the better. It gives a chance for "local" bands to get their music heard on a worldwide basis and challenges the music business' monopoly on music production and distribution.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, why not? If it paid enough and meant giving up the day job :)
