“Unmarry Me is a triangular shaped group comprising of Lise Frances and Jon Slade and Chris Rowley. London to Brighton and back again.
Unmarry Me is comprised of personnel who have all had time or continue to have time in other groups, who did not take easy routes or money and didn't make many friends, so it goes.
These groups respectively or chronologically were and are Huggy Bear, Comet Gain, I'm Being Good, Help She Can’t Swim, DasKinsey4, Snoozers, Adulkt life - bands that time will record as being on the right side/s of history and herstory.
Unmarry Me are of a completely different stripe or ilk, but comprise the antagonist and peculiar DNAs that honour this, Unmarry Me play and record and create and make in a d i y syncretism that's useful to themselves, distinct and not worth talking about...Unmarry Me are about bending, queering, breaking and resetting rules, smudging boundaries and having a lovely time.”
