PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
schebang was originally formed by mike and pete, two guitarists with a shared love of off-kilter pop songs and backdrops of vocal harmonies. expansion soon beckoned... following lo-fi beginnings in noisy london pubs three more hearty singers and all-round musical folk (dayo, laura and stu) joined the band so the songs could wander wherever they needed to.
we enjoy using a range of accompanying sounds, from flugelhorn and banjo to the delicate wheezing of a midget accordion. on record we've called on the wider schebang family to squeeze in a string section, a cornet and a synthesizer too - just to make sure we live up to our name. as a five-piece we're currently sewing our folkpop seeds live, playing songs from our brand new ep 'stranger than the weather' (to book us just send a message). if you like rousing acappela singing, full harmonies and fresh lyrical flourishes then we might just be a band for you...
...if you're impressed/intrigued enough to part with a few bob you might like to purchase a physical copy of our ep via paypal for £4 by clicking the 'buy now' button below (includes all postage costs). that way you can hold it in your very own hand(s). alternatively you could own a little digital piece of us in seconds by heading to itunes...
