The Awkward Silences + Band in London, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

We’re a London based minor cult band who have released five albums on small labels and our planning our sixth. We describe our music as “outsider pop”. We’re very much doing this as a hobby but last year we toured with Jeffrey Lewis and we’ve played the odd festival. Acts we’ve been compared to include Daniel Johnston, the Blue Aeroplanes and Ian Dury.

The band are disabled-led and are the house band for a new Neurodivergent Carnival night featuring drag and circus skills.
