With clanging indie guitars, Beach Boys-esque keys and vocals reminiscent of the Pixies, Splashh have a polished psychedelic sound, which is strange considering the unlikely circumstances of their rise. Kiwi Sasha Carlson and Aussie Toto Vivian only started writing songs when they moved to East London in February last year. By May they had their first gig but with no band; in two weeks they found a bassist and flew out another Kiwi for drums. Against all odds, luck or destiny brought Splashh together, so catch them before they take off. (TLB)
