Eclectic london-based home-recorders who veer from acousticky bedsit folk to summery synthpop, psychedelic freakouts, jingles and cut-ups. Unifying lyrical themes include unsparingly honest self-deprecation, left-wing social/political outlook, love of the nervous outsider, offset (or heightened) by whimsy and surrealism. Live shows are sporadic, and resolutely shambolic but quite funny, with projections and props.
Keshco formed in the mid-1990s. Some early recordings are collected on Earlobe Holistics, a 60-minute cassette employing stream-of-consciousness splicing to link the disparate pieces. Several CD releases followed, the most recent being 2009’s Deforestation of Dak. Keshco have recently taken to the netlabel scene, releasing a string of free EPs under creative commons licensing.
Keshco also make comedy films and a zine, Beware!. Their current line-up is Andrew Brain, Robert Follen and Luke Sample. All three are adept at guitars and keyboards, while Andrew and Robert handle most vocal duties. Robert also plays drums, Andrew does programming using freeware PC programs Buzz and Goldwave, and Luke plays flute and mandolin.

The first four Keshco CDs - "Earlobe Holistics", "The Seeds Of Wom", "Saplings of Sop" and "Softened Fingers" have just been worked over visually, so they come with better artwork. Buy them buy them buy them! I was up all night on Picture Publisher...
