The Blue Aeroplanes

Wonderfully eclectic and chaotic Bristol combo. Gerard Langley and Wojtek Dmochowski (dance) have been the heart of an ever changing line up since the mid 80's. It's said that if you spit in certain pubs in Bristol you are certain to hit a current or former Aeroplane. At times it seems like they're all on stage with a guitar in their hand @ once. They've gone from indie label to major and back again via legal wrangles.
