Lineup and details for Live Nation Presents: We Have Band on Wednesday 15th February 2012

In the spring of 2007 the unlikely trio of married couple DeDe, Thomas and mate Darren joined forces and the conceptual band 'We Have Band' came to life. Despite its origins as a lark, the trio soon realised that they were onto something much greater than they imagined.

"We invited Darren over to our place for dinner," says Thomas "And then we all went upstairs and played around with a Korg drum machine. We put it through a shitty guitar pedal and our first song 'WHB' was born. And that's the version we've kept." "It's true," adds Darren "The first DER DER DER drum beat that starts that song is literally the first sound that the trio created."

Drawing from a well of influences that include ESG, Animal Collective and The Rapture, the band created their own sound - a 21st Century mixtape that defies categorisation or pigeonholing. Early singles like the vibrating punk funk monster 'Oh!' (released on 50 Bones records) and the fuzzy, descending disco of 'Hear It In The Cans' (available on the sixth Kitsune Maison compilation) showed the trio's playful, disco side but there's more to them than meets the eye.

The final product is much bigger than their singles and beloved Myspace songs suggest. Beat heavy, yes, but also warm, organic and much more complex, melody driven and beautiful than you would expect.

Doors: 7 p.m.
