::About The Left Outsides::
“Introspective folk, tinged with subtle inventiveness” Uncut Magazine
"The Left Outsides seamlessly mix their love of the whimsical, English psychedelia of Syd Barret, with the icy and ethereal european folk of Nico, the drones of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the introspection of Elliot Smith, all done in their unique, understated way"
The Left Outsides are Mark Nicholas and Alison Cotton, a duo from Camberwell, south London who have been playing together since the winter of 2003. Both are former members of The Eighteenth Day of May while Mark served in acid expressionists of Arrowe Hill and Alison's considerable viola skills have been put to good use in numerous bands including Saloon, Comet Gain and Mathew Sawyer and the Ghosts
Their debut album 'And Colours In Between' was released by Transistor Records on 12 May 2008. The 'Leaving the Frozen Butterflies Behind' EP was released on the I wish I was Unpopular label in January 2006 and their limited edition CDr album titled 'Live at The Drop Out' was self released in January 2008. A 7" single 'The Third Light' was released on the Hi-Beat Records label in July 2008. The Left Outsides are currently working on a new album to be released in winter 2008.
