Tubelord

The band formed in 2005 while attending Kingston College by Joseph Prendergast, David Catmur and Olev Saunders.

Over the next three years Tubelord would release several EP and singles as well as touring heavily around the United Kingdom and Europe with bands such as This Town Needs Guns and Tellison.

In late 2009, Tubelord released their debut album Our First American Friends, which was met with critical praise from Rock Sound,[2] DIY,[3] and the BBC.

[5] Following the critical success of Our First American Friends, the band would go on to work with legendary producer Steve Albini on their next four-track EP, Tezcatlipōca.

The band added a fourth member, keyboardist James Elliot Field, to the line-up, with Tom Coulson-Smith replacing the departing Sean Bamberger on bass.
