UK Release Date Announced  (Apr 19)       

The new album - Plug & Play - will be released in UK on Monday June 30th on CD/LP and on itunes a week earlier. It features vocalist Dionne Charles (whose own band Baby Charles released their debut album earlier this year) on 4 of the 11 tracks, plus there are appearances from master percussionist Sam Bell (This Is What We Do; Live At La Cova.) Early DJ responses have been extremely positive ("Their best yet," etc...) but you'll have to judge for yourselves when it comes out. We will be posting sneaky previews on the jukebox in the run-up to the release, so check back often!

C.H.U.D. Atlanta Show Review

"What's amazing is how these four guys can fill a room with the tightest and most intricately delicious music with what superficially seems like nothing fancy. There's no smoke and mirrors with these boys. They're normal looking chaps with guitarist Eddie Roberts playing a big-bodied Gibson, keyboardist Joe Tatton sitting at one organ using a very limited amount of sounds, bassist Pete Shand grooving away in the background, and drummer Simon Allen doing his thing tight as anyone's business but without theatrics."

BEST KEPT SECRET

"A fanciful, debonair & dashing array of remixes - like having an open air martini with James Bond on Brighton beach" - Nick Matthews
