Shortly after his Grandfathers funeral Jimmy discovered a ukulele in the attic and a small handwritten book of his grandfathers poetry....He met Eleanor the day after his best friends wedding, at a Libertines gig. They booked 3 gigs and guided by the unflinching eye of their guru and mentor Duke Marmapants, decided to form the greatest band of all time. He wrote some songs about shagging. She wrote some songs influenced by words she had seen written on toilet walls. They are repeatedly described as "Genius" and once as "Dostoevsky singing Lonnie Donnegan" Both descriptions are correct."

An A.Ma.Zing incendiary band who are all ramshackle riotous JAMC / early MBV attitoood!

According to the band The Mai 68s sound like:-
Nothing on earth.... What do you mean this is an official statement?.... oh ok then. Its the sound of dinosaur jr if fronted by ulrike meinhof, the ramones if they sniffed c86 comps rather than glue, and the band phil spector would have loved if he hadn't gone the whole starsailor/gunningpeopledownthang route (allegedly). Loudness/standupdrums/sugarcoatedchaos? What more do you want? - What.... you want The Oasis? You will learn.....
