👋🏻 err hey, don't suppose you're free on Saturday night? It's just we're playing at the frog and fiddle and we'd really like you to come, we think you're cool and you might enjoy it. So erm, yeah, reply to this if you want to and if you come that's cool, if you don't want to that's cool too.

JUST A GeNtlE REMINDER...
EVERY. SINGLE. THING. WE'VE. EVER. EVEEEERRRRR. RECORDED (wayt.wot?)
( tried to sell to you lovely people - (thanks for buying it original in it's proper (at the time) current format - we made origami paper cases for one ep, which was an insane amount of work for us - which no wonder it was £4 a piece... god imagine charging money for noise.)
THIS IS ALL FREE NOW.
FILL YOUR GODDAMMN BOOTS!
THE EARLY STUFF (bad) TO THE MIDDLING YEARS (better but still DIY'ing it) TO THE NEWER STUFF (not uploaded yet but just wait..okay? wait! )
Enjoy! You bunch of sad, beautiful people.

p.s we've always recorded everything we've done ourselves. Never paid a producer or a studio; just did everything all by our little olivertwistlonesome hands... So if you don't like it and if you think that being in a band and making music is a competition then please don't listen to this because no one in the world, whichever side your on likes judgement.

Like the little nocturne elder emos we are, APPARENTLY we're not gonna stop booking shows for a while. So here goes nuffin...
SWINDON - THE VICTORIA 4TH FEB - Its independent venue week babyyy, and is one of the best there is, always treated us like we're perfectly normal (we are not) and looked after its artists and patrons every single goddamn time. All hail the Victoria. See you there, and if we don't see you there, well... You clearly don't care about anything creative at all. (they have astonishingly outdated toilets.)

For the foreseeable future (while we try to create new/better/bestestest music) our bandcamp is free! 🎉
https://ouilegionnaires.bandcamp.com/
(Would be cool if you could let us know what you think by possibly giving us £1 or something and we'll put it towards something good but no pressure!)
Go and fill your ears with our yelps while you watch whatever trash you want. Probably syncs up with Jersey Shore or something...

SATURDAY APRIL 8TH - THE VICTORIA, SWINDON
VICFEST with a whole bunch of absolute ledgfriends.
When you’re trying to have a serious band practice but every song descends into midwestern emo covers of Crowded House…
We had loads of fun over the Christmas holidays hanging out and making music! This year we’re gonna make the effort to write new songs and play some shows!
