Little Fish was a British garage rock band from Oxford, United Kingdom, formed in 2006 by vocalist and guitarist Julia "Juju" Sophie Heslop and drummer Neil "Nez" Greenaway. [1] [2]
Little Fish released one studio album – Baffled and Beat (2010) and a series of EPs.
After playing numerous shows in the UK throughout 2007, including an appearance at Glastonbury Festival, [3] they were signed to Custard Records in 2008 [1] and began work on their debut album with label owner and producer Linda Perry [1] [4] as well as playing a show at the Viper Room, in Los Angeles, California. [5] They went on to support Supergrass on their European tour. [4]
In 2009, they toured with Spinnerette, Eagles of Death Metal, [6] Juliette Lewis [6] and Alice in Chains. [7] In 2010, they played a show with Courtney Love's group, Hole, in London at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire as well as their own headlining tour in March 2010.[ citation needed] The band announced, via Twitter, that they are supporting Them Crooked Vultures on 22 March 2010 at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of The Teenage Cancer Trust. [8]
Between 9 and 30 June 2010 the band played a fourteen date tour supporting Blondie. They also played the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage at the Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, UK on Saturday 31 July. [9]
The group's debut album, titled Baffled and Beat, was released on 16 August 2010. [1]
Three of the band's tracks; " Am I Crazy", " Darling Dear", and "Bang Bang", are featured as downloadable content in Rock Band, with "Am I Crazy" being a free track, and the other two being sold for half the normal price.
Little Fish left Custard Records/Universal USA at the end of 2010 to begin recording a new album produced by fellow Oxford musician Gaz Coombes formerly of Supergrass. [10] On 17 December 2012 Little Fish played their last show at the Rotunda in Oxford. [11]
Juju and Ben went on to start a new band called Candy Says in January 2013, and are recording a second album in their garage with the help of their original producer, Rich Aitken. [12]
