Billy Dolan’s style is unique, like a post-punk Hendrix. Ryan Rapsys also played drums in EUPHONE and HEROIC DOSES and just happens to be one of the best drummers you will ever see. Das Boton plays instrumental, angular, fluid and organic post-punk rock songs, with an emphasis on old-fashioned good fun!!

A bunch of excitable party people from Leeds. Polyrhythmic, raucous, electrotastic elastic art-pop songs from the death-beds of Fela Kuti, James White, Captain Beefheart, Minutemen, The Meters and Talking Heads. Cissy have toured the UK and Europe with Origami (San Francisco) and played gigs with Cryptacize, James Chance et Les Contortions, DAT Politics, Fulborn Teversham and more.
