Misty's Big AdventureMisty's Big Adventure

A glorious 8 piece band from Birmingham in the UK, made up of brothers and sisters and twins and saxophones and trumpets and cute, weird dancers who produce the most uplifting, life affirming tunes you will hear since Louie Armstrong played with the Lovin Spoonful.

They are currently working on a new album which will be out later this year

Last updated in January 2010

Misty's Big Adventure are currently mixing their new album, or rather having it mixed, in London. It'll still be a few months before it sees the light of day (Grandmaster Gareth is yet to hear the rough mixes) so in the meantime there's single from these brummie popstars. A-Side is Gareth's girl pop protégés The Dumbettes whilst Misty's appear on the AA-side with There's Someone at The Window

The Dumbettes - "Dumb Head"

Misty's Big Adventure - "There’s Someone At The Window"

the UKs answer to the Arcade Fire **** The Independent

Misty’s sound like nothing you have ever heard before. Can this be the future of British rock? The Telegraph

Their version of psychedelic pop is both brilliant and fabulous…. simply magnificent ***** The Big Issue.

Misty's are the best thing I've come across in ages, they make me wanna make a new album everytime I hear them, they make complicated music seem easy and if Gareth was fit I'd shag him Dave Maccabe, The Zutons

I LOVE them Everett True, PLAN B

Really, few other bands can fill us with such sheer joy. Drowned in Sound

A band of mystique and magic, Misty’s Big Adventure are going to save British pop music Morning Star
