Welcome to the Footage Homepage!

18th October 2005 - Upstairs @ The Garage, Highbury

We are a London-souled band. We are anarcho-democrats and we are rigorous. Off your knees, comrade. Before we went public, we took the precaution of writing 500 songs. Now that we're fully warmed up (and unfurrowed by anxiety over that difficult 17th album), we've recorded a couple of EPs, one called (in a psychedelic lurch of inspiration) "Extended Play", and an acoustic one called (in a psychedelic... etc etc) "Acoustic". Then, suddenly, we recorded "I Love You, I Hate You, May I Buy You A Drink?", a 4 song EP comprising a love song, a protest song, a drinking song and a hymn. It appalled the guilty and made mad the free, which was the precise intention. We are now appearing, always pre-announced (we are polite - would you like 3 cigarettes?), in London venues/bars (both miztvah and tref boozehells). We are Armstrong, Kid, Hatter, Therapist, Pensen. We are the people who are in The Footage. And we're done. Follow us out. On your knees. Quackquackquack!

Our EPs are available for purchase (send us an email if you're interested) or you can download our songs from this very website.
