We are playing a session for Resonance 104.4 FM on April the 1st if anyone in London fancies tuning in or listening on the web.


9th JANUARY 2006
Thanks to everyone who voted for us in the festive 50 on radio 1!!! we got number 18 and we were really chuffed (and surprised).

Also, loads of people have been asking us who painted the cover for the new album. He's an artist called Michael Shores from massachusetts and you can check out his work at shark art studios (along with Angela Mark who is also great).


12th DECEMBER 2005
Woop! Our album is available to buy on the music page now (with paypal)... it should be available to buy (or order) in shops that handle Forte distribution from March onwards. It's a split label release between SuperFi, Blood Red Sounds and Farm Girl Recs. Cat no: FARMGR-007. Thanks to everyone who has made it possible for us to release this.


11th NOVEMBER 2005
UK Tour is nearly on! Click here to see the tour flyer.

Some people may be wondering where Paul our old bass player has been - he has taken time off from live performance (and hunting lodge) indefinitely due to health problems. He will be working on studio based projects and we'll keep you posted on those. Paul was one of the founding members and will be missed.



16th September 2005
A few things… first off, we have lots of awesome gigs coming up including a bunch o'dates with 3 different Japanese bands: Melt Banana(!), Afrirampo and My Way My Love. We also have an 11 date tour at the end of November (a couple of dates are unconfirmed as yet, so if you want to book us get in touch). Check the gig pages for more info.

Our new album will be out, all things going to plan, 20th November and the launch party will held at the Louisiana in Bristol on the 3rd December.

And finally, we have parted company with our 2nd guitarist Russ who has been with us for about a year. Work commitments and shit. Good luck in the future Russ. xxx


5th August 2005
Thanks must go out to the Huw Stephens show on Radio 1 who played one of the tracks off our forthcoming album.

In other news: we have updated our photo section after about 1,000,000 years. Oh and there is another band called hunting lodge in America who were around in the 80's - they have asked us to put a disclaimer on the site saying we are not them. Well we're not them.
