The band consists of an Ornithologist, an occasional Russian translator, a South African Pirate Captain, and a human radio. They were first united in a snow-encrusted garage in Oxford early in 2006 and have since attracted the attention of Dr & Mrs Killjoy the neighbours and their android children, two of which (Adam Briggs and Rahul Satija) now regularly join them on stage. None of the band have ever been to Stornoway. But Brian once got to within 37 miles of it. Extra musical cargo belonging to Stornoway can be found at www.myspace.com/stornoway
