BIG AMONGST SHEEP emerged in the post punk period of the early 80's. It was a time when music equipment and in particular synthesisers had become both affordable and more sophisticated. It was also a time when the big record companies were still reeling from the punk and indie revolution...
We had reached a time when you could do your own thing and be appreciated, 'garage' music had 'cred'. Tucked away in the North-West of England is the Lake District... A ravishing beauty of a land, wild, wet and majestic, a land that communicates with the spirit, forges our identity and has been an inspiration to artists, poets and thinkers down the annals of time.
BIG AMONGST SHEEP are one of the very few bands to set forth from this region, in earnest and with any form of mission statement...
Psychedelic fuelled folkies & Space Rockers with synths.
