Dan (vocals/guitar) and Steve (drums) from The Mosaics.

Tonight I was joined in the studio by Dan and Steve from The Mosaics. The band (also featuring Ben on bass and Dan on guitar) hail from Newcastle, but have become regulars on the local Essex scene with recent appearances at the Bitter End in Romford and the Fleece in Chelmsford among others. They can be seen locally at the Essex Arms, next to Brentwood Station, on August 13^th, and their EP Illuminate is available now. To find out more on The Mosaics, and see where they’re playing, head to www.themosaics.net or www.myspace.com/themosaics.
