about

Richard Heeley - vocals / guitar

Pete Dukes - bass

Jonathan Wakefield - guitar

Matt Washington - drums

shambolic formed in 1995 and we are very proud of the fact that the line up has not changed in the last 19 years.

In 1998, we were successful in securing a £5000 lottery grant to produce our first release Wondering Why?, which gained significant interest from various indie labels.
Wondering Why?-era shambolic is a very different beast to us nowadays. As bands progress, you tend to see them developing their sensitive sides. Not so with shambolic. If anything, we've become more cynical and world weary.
2009 saw us settle into new rehearsal and recording facilities. We also put out our second release Dancing Out Of Step and tied this in with a short tour (quickly christened the "tourette") with our friends Jok from London.
This was quickly followed by the Burning ep in 2010, with the lead track "Sleeping Gas" receiving air play from Steve Lamacq on his 6 Music show.
Our latest release, Twisting On The Line came out in 2013, from which Standing Tall is taken.
In and amongst that a lot of gigs and giggles, and there you have it.

And there will be more.
