Bio and more

The Rrrrrrrs (pronounced with a tongue roll, 'rrrrrrr') are a fun, 'madcap indie-pop' band based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. We've just flown the nest and now have jobs in London. We play uplifting songs about boring nights out, unfaithful women, the credit crunch and transcendental happiness.

The Rrrs formed when Sharzilla Moog aka Sharliza from Singapore, Rowan Gifted from Hayling Island and Les Woods from Wigan converged in an instant and unlikely fashion at Warwick Uni. They currently live together at Casa del Rrrs in Leamington Spa. They've had 8 drummers in the past and are no longer with Mr No. 9, Tom Rocket. So they've given up with drummers. They've called themselves Stari and the Mourning Woods and Multiskins before deciding on The Rrrrrrs, which is pronounced with a sexy gutteral roll of your tongue.

Sharzilla aims to infuse pop indie music with South East Asian influences - still a work in progress. Les Woods - bassist, Northern, runner Rowan Gifted - lead guitarist, le sex Sharzilla Moog - singer, rhythm guitarist, songwriter, designer
