Flamingods is a four piece multi-instrumental experimental band founded by Kamal Rasool in late 2009 as a bedroom project. Their sound has been described as ethnic pop, with elements of noise, tribal and freak folk. They use a vast array of percussion instruments and loop pedals, often in unorthodox ways. They are based in London, UK. Flamingods have released one self-recorded album entitled 'Waves Waves Waves Waves Waves' and a joint summer EP with Cabaret Scene. Rasool is currently writing and finalizing material for the next Flamingods album entitled 'Sun'.

Once there were two lost souls, Grundy le Zimbra and The Late Simon Mastrantone. They both loved to play music yet they could never find the right slipper to fit. The boredom was killing them. Not ones to bury their heads in the sand, they turned instead to showcasing others’ talent and together with their friend Jeremy Warmsley they created a night called Songs in the Dark. Here they laid on a feast of modern cabaret, a celebration of all that was good in music, poetry, comedy and art. One such Dark night, Grundy and The Late.
