Windings

The windings story began in 2005, when Steve released the self titled debut album on Out On A Limb Records, to a multitude of positive reviews from music media and fans alike and invitations to perform at many festivals including Electric Picnic. Three years later, long time collaborator and friend Liam Marley became a fully fledged member of the band, bringing his dynamic multi-instrumentalism and song-writing skills to the table. Liam’s influence was instantaneous and the windings sound began to evolve, just as Steve had hoped it would. 2009 saw the arrival of a further three winders – Aaron Mulhall taking on drum duties and Patrick O’ Brien and Mike Gavin on guitars/bass/keyboards/glockenspiels/kitchen sinks.

So what’ve they been up to since then? Well, They’ve mostly been honing (yes, “honing) their live show, which depending on the night you catch them, could be stripped down acoustic melancholia, or beefed up distorted electric rock from hell (kind of). Over the past few years, windings have had the pleasure of playing with the likes of Daniel Johnston, Smog/Bill Callahan, Bob Mould, Okkervil River, Caribou, Iron And Wine, Villagers, Teenage Fanclub, and Modest Mouse, amongst others.
