Weird Sleeping Kittens

Bio:

...... WSK formed in September 2007 at the St. Ives Arts Festival when all 3 original members (Charlie Finney, Russell Baillie & Neil Hiller) were performing there with another band. Our first public appearance followed shortly after at a private function at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association. We released our first album, Serenade, a year later on the Autumn Equinox in 2008. WSK played at the Out Of The Ordinary Festival in 2008 & 2009, headlining the Acoustic Stage in 2009. On February 12th 2010, Slipped A Knot was selected as Radio Verulam's Track Of The Week. On April 2nd 2010, Goodness Knows entered the Music World Radio Listeners' Top 20, staying in the chart for 7 weeks and reaching a high of number 7 (twice!). In July 2010, Over Again was chosen to feature in a new, British independent film, The Scared Of Death Society. In the summer of 2012 we were joined by Marialessia Dell'Acqua on drums and began new recordings. In February 2013 we released a new EP of four songs.
