| Faux Feet - Faux Feet |
Ahead of Stoke-on-Trent act Faux Feet’s final show tonight, we caught up with all the acts saying farewell at The Sugarmill.
Lead vocalist Sian Matthews of Faux Feet was saddened the band had to part ways.
She said: “We’re all moving away. It’s been going for five years now since Carl Howe and I started it, but I think it’s time for it now (to end).
“It’s weird. It feels really weird,” Sian laughs. “I’m going to try and do as much as I can in Nottingham as there’s such a rad music scene there.”
Weirdly, vegetarian Sian said she will most miss getting harassed at band practice by three boys chasing her with slices of meat.
“They tried to smack me with ham before!”
“I’m going to miss the banter. It sounds really cliché but they are like my brothers really. I can’t imagine not speaking to one of them on a daily basis.

Frontman Sam Wooley said: “We’re good mates with Faux Feet. It’s a shame because they’re such a different band in Stoke-on-Trent.”
Speaking of plans for the future, Sam was optimistic: “We’re gonna’ take some time out to do some writing and get the music as best as possible and then really go for it at Christmas time or early next year.
“We’re getting Sian and Tim (of Faux Feet) to record on our EP. We’ve never collaborated with anyone and because we’re friends with them it’s a no-brainer. They’ll take some heaviness from us and we’ll take something from the soft side from them and see what happens.
Brother and sister group The Taskers were excited to open tonight for their fifth Sugarmill performance.
Drummer and vocalist Sophie Tasker said: “It’s actually been really interesting getting people in. Lots of our friends are away because it’s summer, but we’ve got quite a big crowd coming for us so it should be good."
“It’s always an interesting gig here, and this one’s looking to be really good. It feels nice to come back.” explained brother Jack.
The rock five-piece Lifecolour spoke of their five-year history so far.
Frontman Sam Frawley said: "We met through a youth group ages and ago and we gigged in his garage. We eventually got together with some friends and really enjoyed it. We’ve been gigging for five years now.
“We did two weeks in America last year which went really well. A lot of driving but a lot of fun! I think we honed our British accents quite a lot so we were instantly cooler!
“We’re Christians so we started playing at churches but we wanted to expand.
“The songs talk about society and troubles so it’s a very universal sound."
They are influenced by the likes of Thrice, Moving Mountains and Biffy Clyro.
Lead guitarist Sam Taylor added: “Switchfoot have been our biggest general influence. They’re probably the reason why we started when we saw them at a show. We thought, ‘this is probably what we want to do’.
“We’d love to do another album because we have a lot of songs written."
Lifecolour will be contributing to the compilation charity album for Stella’s Voice.
