    I've just seen a band called "HAM SANDWICH" i've heard their stuff and that and thought, "they're not too bad" but i just saw them live and I swear they are amazing! they really took me in for the whole set, I honestly have not felt like that at a gig since the last time I saw Sack (my fav band) but really please please please check them out, I think the've a Myspace thingy, but really go see them, it was €7 into bottletop and i swear it was soooooooooo worth it

    yeah, not bad. They supported Isobel Campbell a couple of months back. The female singer has a good voice. They have a single out in Tower Records too.

    Pity about the name though - Ham Sandwich. Won't appeal too much to the vegetarians of this world. :)

    Saw them at Isobel Campbell and HWCH. They're not bad. Not amazingly special imo. But they're not really my kind of thing and I would certainly watch them again if they were playing at a gig I was at.

    They collaborated with Hot Press/Tisch school of performing arts and made a video for one of their songs, I don't remember the name but the song was stonking in combination with the video. They're all really sound and well-grounded, too...

    The song your talking about i think is St Christopher. Its their most recent single saving that its Sad Songs but I don't think they have a video for that.

    I saw them open for Isobel Campbell too and thought they were brilliant (despite the name :p ). Cheers for the links.

    Saw them in Issac Butt's once and thought they sucked ass. Luckily I missed them at that New Years thing they did supporting the Rednecks, I heard they were terrible then too.
