Loscoe State Opera

We're humans and humans have lives that sometimes go a bit off-kilter. However, we're gradually putting the site (and the music) back together after the two-year-long Loscoe Soap Opera…

Gig list

Belper festival, Derbyshire : Saturday 28 June 2008: Our only gig this year video from last year (thanks, video person!)
In the past: Sheffield Folk Festival 2007: If you were there, you can see the videos...
In the past: Oxjam benefit, Belper Rugby Club: Our contribution to Oxjam, featuring James Warner Prophecies and Lucy Mitford. 'Twas loverly.
In the past: Stainsby festival, Derbyshire: A brilliant crowd. But very muddy. 'werewolf2' wrote a nice review of us at Stainsby a couple of years ago.

Loscoe State Video

Someone really nice put a whole load of video of us on YouTube, mostly of the Sheffield Folk Festival 2007 (gotta be a fan to watch - sound is a bit muffled), where all but around 30 of the audience vanished after being asked to pay again to see us (big oops, lessons learned we hope)…

10th anniversary CD

Yep, we're going to tackle that difficult 3rd album in 2008. And we've been playing for 10 years (flip. How did that happen?). We'll keep you informed on the way…

‘Loscoz not dead’

After losing both our domain name (to some idiotic US 'business' with no use whatsoever for loscoestateopera.com domain apart from mindless greed), and Kev (bass), and Andy's eye trouble (and other stuff) we almost lost the will to live… but not the will to continue playing :-) so yes, things have been difficult, and it's taken a while to get back on our feet… but - despite rumours to the contrary - we're still here! We're working on new material, which will get heard at gigs now our new Bass player John is settled in (watch out for the electric cello!).

Kate was on Kerrang! radio

This was ages ago, but who cares? Kate's other band James Warner Prophecies (myspace.com/thejameswarnerprophecies) played on Kerrang Radio on 26th April (errrr… two years ago, that is) as part of the Ugly Phil Breakfast Show. As well as three of their own live numbers they also performed their specially composed Kerrang jingle Let Satan Make Your Toast.

Purely for nostalgia - see our first ever web page from around 1999. Yep, the secret of survival is to ummm… survive…
