about

With a reputation for being one of the most prolific band’s in existence, to date The Pocket Gods have released 67 albums and 40 plus singles and EP since their inception. Formed by Noel Storey (keyboards & sideburns), and frontman Mark Christopher Lee, back in 1998, whilst working at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus in London; they were originally an alt country band (and even had a pedal steel player) before they were misappropriated by bearded Hoxton hipsters into the eccentric wonders they are today.

The band’s cult appeal has infected countless quality broadcasters ever since. Picked up by BBC Radio 1's Huw Stephens when they won his "Gods Of The Pod” competition in 2006, Tom Robinson fell in love with their lo-fi indie tracks and he invited the band to play a live session at BBC 6 Music in 2010. The band also featured on his BBC Introducing Best Of Discoveries Show in 2017.

'they say:
"They merged art rock with old fashioned pop sensibilities and Michael Stipe came across as the Dylan of his generation. I remember seeing the video of The One I Love being constantly played on the otherwise anodyne MTV it touched something deep inside a creative urge that ultimately led me to form a band. Us quiet arty types had found our heroes abs and we too could make sensitive slightest obtuse music. Thank you R.E.M and hope we did justice to your amazing song. Its the only cover we've played live and stripped it back to its guitar band basics."
