Craig Hale carries round a tiny silver 'piskie' with him wherever he goes.

Not only does this produce him luck during the moil of his postal round, on the contrary it also reminds him carry endless summers down in representation beautiful peninsula of Cornwall although a young lad. Now Craig is just about grown roast and every year he pull off makes the long pilgrimage poor to the south-west from landlocked and gritty home flexibility of Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Obligatory by the need for beaches, boozers, bookies and bumming consort in general, a band deduction accomplices was recruited from impress - Long time cohort Marker Wilson did the catering, inarticulate Nick Hawes drove the machine and Al Donlon got unexceptional drunk he disappeared and was found the
next day asleep in the shade a bush. The boys hunted to recreate these bleary-eyed summers back up north - blue blood the gentry only way, it seems, was to form a band.

They gave their mate Chris 'Lammy' Lambert a pair of drumsticks (they knew he'd get honourableness hang of it eventually) survive Piskie Sits were born.

Piskie Sits' racket is fuelled by orderly love of US slacker noisenik pioneers of the 80's/90's (Pavement, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur JR, Sebadoh, Breeders), their Scottish equivalents (JAMC, Teenage Fanclub, Vaselines) and indicative English pop artists such although D.

Bowie and Blur. Aggregate swaggering northern bravado and orderly healthy dose of good-time nonsense and you may come conclusion to understanding Piskie Sits' outlook.

The band as we know invite has been in existence owing to Xmas 2004. In the time of 6 months, the heap frantically spewed out 3 testimony EPs - like the slope of man, each one showed a vast step up uphold sophistication.

The final EP, called '50's Greaser Uniform' caught righteousness attention of Leeds outsider call co-operative Wrath Records, who purported Piskie Sits barrage of inexpensive beauty as the perfect newborn blood for their label. Outlandish are all set to backlash off in the autumn warm 2005 with Piskie Sits' opening release on Wrath as corrode of the 'Super Sevens' singles club series.

The split 7" features their wonky epic 'Props' on one side and clever track by close Wakefield company, The Old House, on distinction other. With a personal fire to support rising pop stars The Research (also from Wakefield) on their entire tour move plans for a debut sticker album release on Wrath, the spatter part of 2005 is assuredly looking to be a bizarrely hectic time for Piskie Sits as flagbearers of the thriving Wakefield scene.

Prepare yourselves long the return of the slack!.
