Band History

The Sutcliffes originally formed in the early nineties during the hey-day of depressing grunge rock. They offered an alternative to "Alternative" with their sunny skiffle arrangements of classic and original songs spanning genre's from rock to country to lounge. Over the years they have released CD's of their own material as well as collaborated with kindred artists such as Ron English, Daniel Johnston and Sara Hickman. Their current line-up includes Brando on guitar, Jeffe on harp, horn, and keys, Patro on bass, and Little Ricky on drums. Their music is still about having fun with tongue planted in firmly cheek, and booty shaking wildly in air.
