Bio
The Pocketwatchers arrived on planet earth on the eve of 2008. It soon became apparent that they had arrived 100 years too late for their mission exploring Edwardian Britain; their time-traveling apparatus had been damaged in the crash and they had no way of returning to their home world. This left them only one obvious course of action... they began to make techno music.
About
Salvaging the wreckage of their craft they improvised a drum machine, synthesizer, talk-box and a stringed instrument resembling an earth guitar. With these rudimentary tools and a circuit bent sequencer constructed from what was left of the ships hyper-drive, Herbert Gabriel Allen and Edgar George Verne discovered a passion for musical composition that has made their continued existence light-years from home somewhat more bearable.
It is their sincere wish that they might find a platform to broadcast their music to the humans in the hope the resulting brainwave transmissions will find their way into space time, hitch-hiking on cosmic rays bound for the edge of the universe, in the hope their own kind might recognize the signature and send a rescue party.
Or for those of you seeking sometihng more literal...
The Pocketwatchers consist of Andrew Haines and Adam Kidd, two Brightonian musicians hell-bent on generating large amounts of noise in small dark corners of southern England. These two audio reprobates spent most of their teenage years thrashing their way through heavy guitar riffs and jumping around intoxicated for the amusement of an equally inebriated underground crowd. Years passed however and these two grew up and older. Now in their late twenties they are no wiser, less sober and even more obsessed with the sound of all things distorted - although their dancing has improved immensely. During this transition, Andrew and Adam have collaborated together on a rich array of projects; the adolescent (Rift), the brave (Kiyomori) and the foolish (The Pimps And Dealers).
