Performances
In April 2013, the trio debuted their "lamp show", in which they are accompanied by 20 vintage lamps which are programmed to flash, fade and flicker in time to the music. The first lamp show performance was at Deda in Derby. The trio have since staged a number of further lamp show performances, including at the Indietracks festival in July 2013,[12] and at St John on Bethnal Green church in October 2013 and October 2014. In September 2015, the band staged a UK tour of unusual spaces for the lamp show, playing a ballroom, a church, a theatre, a library, and a community centre.
