(Ahoy. I've posted this message elsewhere on DiS, but I'm gunna have a go at posting it here too - in the hope of (eventually) gettin' a reply...)

So, I'm Keith from a Sheffield band called Augurs (I'm also 1/4 of Navvy, but never mind that right now).

We're looking for other bands in Sheffield (and surrounding) that might be citing the same influences as us.

We're fans of...

Swell Maps
The Fire Engines
Clinic
The Fall
Felt
The Breeders
Flipper
Throwing Muses
Young Marble Giants
Television
Pavement

You get the picture... left-field, literary, articulate and DIY-spirited, yeah?

If you think you might be up for putting on gigs with us, it'd be grand to hear from ye.

We've a MySpace page at myspace.com/augursband. Only got some very raw recordings made at one of our rehearsals up there at the mo...

Ta.

Keith.
