Joe Gideon And The Shark

Gideon plucks six strings, dreams stories and sings. Kid sister Viva, a.k.a. 'The Shark', plonks, stomps and honks. Formerly members of Bikini Atoll, they released two albums on Bella Union, second album recorded by geeky genius Steve Albini. Then, they formed a family band and spent summer 06' getting drunk in a barn writing songs on their 8 track recorder. It's been two years now and in this time they've been invited to play with great bands and musicians around europe; Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Archie Bronson Outfit, The Duke Spirit, Scout Niblett, Michael Gira to name but a few.

Our smallest adventures

Started as an excuse for two friends to jam, Our Smallest Adventures soon became a fully fledged musical concern as a side project for Beep! Beep! Ping! members Martyn and Sandy for material which they didn't feel was appropriate the aforementioned band. Then Sandy left and Robin and William joined. A summer of many gigs followed, then Robin and William left to move to Glasgow and Our Smallest Adventures lay dormant for a while.
