Details
After many gigs as part of the Liverpool
music
scene, and appearances on compilation albums such as the Inner
City Sumo album, the band have toured the UK and built up an extensive
and loyal fanbase. Radio DJs such as Steve
Lamacq and Huw Stephens on BBC
Radio One and Tom ‘2468 Motorway’ Robinson
and Phill Jupitus on BBC
Radio 6 have given the band significant air play.
The Innner City Sumo album gathered reviews from the likes of Record
Collector, NME,
Q
magazine).
28 Costumes’ appearances at In The City and Popkomm have led
to national television programmes featuring their music in both the UK and Germany (Rundfunk
Berlin-Brandenburg), and the band returned to Germany in 2005
as part of their European tour. The band also featured on Japan's Fuji TV.
Following the success of the limited release singles
‘Hurricane’ and ’21 Years’, the Cossies released their debut album The Fake Death Experience
on Spank
Records in November 2004. The album became a favourite with reviewers,
and has been featured in magazines from NME to Record Collector to Artrocker
and national newspapers from The Independent to The
Daily Star.
In 2006, following the departure of Nick Hoare on drums, Alli
McPhee took over on drums. The band have since embarked on several UK
gigs and a hugely successful support tour in Germany.
