Drunken Boat

Drunken Boat are packing it in. Sadness for these gents who have been serving up some great tidbits of music over the past few years. It’s down to diverging paths with Dror heading to Cuba and Jamaica, Simon working on You Kiss By The Book, I Heart The Monster Hero and a new band in 2013, Brian is working on The Lives of Millionaires and will join Simon in next years new band project.

So three albums and an EP, the final gig will be the launch for their latest EP ‘Let Go, Be Still’, and will be launched on January 23rd 2013 in Twisted Pepper. We be sad to see them go.
