A single came out from the Undergrowth Collective in April 2012 (see our bandcamp site here) and The Woodlice album “Certain Gifts” comes out Wed 4th June 2014 at the Undergrowth Night at The Greenbank, Bristol.

Previously known as Jetfly the band  produced two albums “Flockabilly” and  “Punk Folk Disco”  (buy)

“There’s some staggeringly lovely songwriting in here…” Four Stars Venue Magazine Feb 2010

A  mini  LP  “One Last Song Before It’s Time To Go” was launched  April 24th 2010 in the Miners Arms St Werburghs Bristol.

The band started off as troubadours  and then evolved into  a punkier pop outfit lying somewhere between Violent Femmes and leftfield folk. It  benefited at different times from Virpi Kettu virtuoso Finnish violinist (contributor to Flockabillly) and Hannah Porter part of the Porter Super Folk family and all round instrumentalist (contributor to the album “Punk Folk Disco”) and Joe Medler, percussionist, celidh leader, swing dancer and much else besides (he’s the ginger one in the photos.)

Here’s a photo of the guys in their Fresh Faced “Jetfly” phase (note sexy bracelets from Rajanis)
