Yeah, same here. A band I followed from the start and saw many times over the years. First time I think was supporting Three Trapped Tigers, Rick layering the guitar towards the end of Plate Tectonics was one of the most wondrous things I’ve ever witnessed at a gig of a band I’d never seen before.
Too long a gap between the albums did for them I reckon.
Played with them a few times, lovely band and lovely guys too. They got so close to breaking through so many times, just didn’t quite happen for them. Everything Touching and the early EPs are such special records.
Love those first EP’s and the debut album, strangely never got reviewed on Drowned in Sound and completely omitted from the end of year lists. Hopefully I’ll be able to attened of the finalk shows.
