The band consists of an ornithologist, a rusty russian translator, and a South African brotherhood. They were first united in a snow-encrusted garage in Oxford, where they instantly attracted the attention of Dr & Mrs Killjoy the neighbours.

After initially dabbling in Psychadelic Punk, Comic Jazz, Rocksteady, and banana costumes, the band honed their sound and instantly attracted the attention of Adam Briggs, brother of the ornithologist. Adam’s trumpeting can now be heard on our debut single ‘Zorbing’, a song about the extreme sport invented in New Zealand by Andrew Akers and Dwayne van der Sluis. After throwing up, the band instantly attracted the attention of violinist Rahul Satija, who can be heard playing on our song ‘Unfaithful’.

The band’s extracurricular interests include hiking trips, tandem cycling, power-kiting, nature-watching and something called hackisack. None of them have ever been to their Hebridean namesake. But Brian once got to within 37 miles of it.

‘The songs are uniformly beautiful, and the lyrics have a disconcerting habit of winding you emotionally…Strident, celebratory and roof-raising.’ 4/5

‘Songs such as ‘Unfaithful’ and ‘Zorbing’ have them in danger of shaking off their ‘best-kept secret’ tag in the near future. 4/5′
