One PEnny Short of a Farthing
We're an eclectic group of talented individuals, bringing soft pop synths, great power chords, harmonies and a touch of sensational romance. The housewives love it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A group of 4 quiet, intelligent lads got talking about music over the lunch table in school and in an instance, they decided, not only did they HAVE to form their own band, but they HAD to do it NOW. and so, after a year of sparse activity from band members (a couple of neo trip-hop 7"s from Bam Bam and a short EP of cover songs from Romeo) the lads got their act together and got into the studio in Romeos bedroom. After a host of powerful Jays, ideas were flying in left right and center. and within a matter of a week, we had an album on our hands.
And the rest, like they say, is history...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Most of our songs are recorded live in the studio, usually in a jam format. It gives the record a real loose, rugged feel, but it still maintains it's intertextuality (erotica)
