Thinking ahead to the first half of 2026, we’re always on the lookout for shows. Headline, support, festivals and bills with likeminded bands especially. We can go out acoustically and do covers but we’re particularly keen on electric shows and promoting our own music. Local, national or Europe.

Just a reminder that it’s Bandcamp Friday today, so if you have any gaps in your collection, heading to their website and buying from there means 100% of the money goes directly to the artist.

An absolute treat to be joined last night by Mike Dymond as we undertook FIVE shows in 1 night. The people of Aldbourne were so welcoming.

We’re pleased to announce that we are playing the Friday at Swindon Shuffle ‘25. More details soon. Also, sincere thanks to those who nominated us across a range of categories for the Wiltshire Music Awards. We’ve never viewed the arts as competition (it’s subjective) but nice to be considered.

Pictured here with a cartload of monkeys… we’re bringing them to our next two shows at The Lamb in Marlborough on the 25th July and the Aldbourne Shuffle on 1st August.

A reunion with the drummer from our first band and what better way to celebrate than five shows in five venues in one village in one night?

Rehearsing ahead of this Sunday’s return to the Blue Boar in Aldbourne. Music from 6pm. #goth #gothic #wiltshire

On Saturday I visited London's Docklands to check out Longplayer, a sound-art installation in the capital's only surviving lighthouse. The aim of the project is to create a piece of ambient music that plays, without repetition, for 1,000 years. Here's a little video I made of my visit (3 mins).

On this World Goth Day, check out @deadlight-dance.bsky.social, a Wilts-based duo I make videos with. They're the full works: dark, '80s-inspired music, good humour (especially live) and inclusive politics. I'm sure they'd be delighted if you gave them a follow. This sampler lasts 1m 25s, so hit it!
