Wow, the feedback from the the free download of The Overlap has been amazing and we've now got a load of new fans who will be delighted to know that for a limited time only, our latest album Sugarstealer is available to download for a recession busting £5. If you would like to buy the album please click here and it will take you to the bandcamp page to download the album. Steve Rothery from Marillion guests again on the album and plays a great solo on Oh Look! A Rainbow.

Cambridge Rock is fast approaching and we are all geared up and ready to play on Sunday the 7th August and the band really is sounding amazing, this will be a great gig. Beyond that we are playing with our good friends The Reasoning at the Globe in Cardiff on the 9th December and this is one to look forward too, it'll be a great gig with two great bands. Early next year we will be playing a handful of gigs in Holland too, with Steve Rothery hopefully with us.

The new album is taking shape and we are making great progress with it, the bands belief is that every album has to be better than the last and although Sugarstealer is something we are really proud of, we know that this is another level up. Demo's start in four weeks and we are again working with the amazing Al Unsworth who recorded Sugarstealer with us. Some of the new songs will start creeping into the set when you least expect it :)

See you all soon

We are also very much in the thick of writing for our next album of which two of the new tracks will hopefully be played for the first time at the Cambridge Rock Festival on the 7th August. We are REALLY excited to get some new material to you all it has taken a while as we are fantastically fussy with our arrangements, we only let them out when we know that they are perfect and these are :)

We've also had quite a lot of requests to play live more and we are listening to you, there will be a few announcements made over the next few weeks so there's another good reason to sign up for our newsletter.

Ribfest and other news

Hi all,

Dave here, hope you are all okay I know that we are after a really enjoyable time on the Isle of Wight at this years Ribfest festival. It wasn't the best attended festival but we had a fantastic time and we really did play a blinder together with the amazing Steve Rothery from Marillion. Thank you to everybody who did turn up and we did rather splendidly on the CD sales too :)

Writing for the new album is coming album very nicely and there are a few tunes in the wash at the moment. We do have a new track, the very weighty and rifftastic 'Apophis' that is almost there and will no doubt be in the set for our next gig in August at the Cambridge Rock Festival.

We have a few exciting things coming up and we will keep you posted, as soon as we know, you will find out too, but it all bodes well for Mr. So & So.


See you soon

It'll be a set chock full of classic Mr. So & So and maybe a couple of surprises too, though without our gorgeous Charlotte as she is still recovering from a very nasty infection.

New Material

Hello all! It's been in a while eh!...The life of Mr. So & So has more ups and downs than most. If nothing else, it makes thing interesting.

We are in the process of writing for album "Number 5" and it's taking shape very nicely. We have three songs on the go at the moment that are kind of out of the lab and into the beginning of the build process. Shaun is working on a great theme for the album that will hopefully involve more than a CD as it were...

We are playing at the Cambridge Springfest on the 17th April which is our first outing this year and then later on in the year we are playing at Ribfest on the Isle of Wight on the 14th May which we hope to have a new song ready for you :) Please visit the official web site for updates on this years gigs.

Sadly, Lady Charlotte wont be appearing with us at the Cambridge show due to a throat infection and at the moment she can barely talk so with plenty of band love we hope to have her fixed as soon as possible. In the interim she has become the band photographer and as soon as we have some images, they'll be up on the internet soon.

Lastly, we came across a video of Spacewalk, put together by a fan in Germany called Sunnyyweather and we're all really impressed with it, here the link;


See you all in Cambridge

Bi-Polar Video

Sunday, 19 December 2010

Hello all, we hope that you are enjoying the festive period, it can only be a good thing when you get time off work :) All of us in the band have day jobs and it's great to eventually get time to recharge. We are now in the beginnings of writing what will be our fifth album and so far the material is already sounding very very good - new material is always a good rush for any band/writer.

2011 will see us playing quite a few festivals, which is something that we have wanted to do for quite a while. Please look out for the dates of these which will be announced via our main site as well as Facebook and MySpace. These dates will also include some appearances with Steve Rothery from Marillion as well as involvement with the British Guitar Academy.

From all the band, we wish you all a very happy Christmas and all the best for the new year.

Dave, Shaun, Charlotte, Stu and Andy
