The stuff we've done thus far has been fairly post-rocky, but with an emphasis on being quite direct and providing some kind of cathartic release. We've also done a few improv gigs and would like to incorporate more improv into our stuff, as well as releasing an album/EP of improv.

So we're looking for someone fairly adept at improvising who's prepared to come trawl other leftfield currents of music to forge something new with us. It'd help (obviously) if they like what we've done thus far, but it's not necessarily a taster of where we want to go. You can hear our stuff at...

We're playing a free gig this Saturday at the Social too, should you want to see us in action.

We're recording a new mini-album for release over Easter (with our current drummer, though someone new may well be allowed to get involved) and may be touring before too long, so we need commitment!
