DAGOBAH + STICKLER

Dagobah
Dagobah – members of whom you may have seen moonlighting in Freak by Wire, Spitting Blood, The Vootubes, Carnivala! or (if you’re old enough) Spudgun and The Mildreds – were formed in the legendary North Devon music scene of the twentieth century’s dying throes, but have, miraculously, barring one or two line-up changes (some of which were just members swapping instruments) been together ever since. Okay, so there may have been the odd ten-to-fifteen-year gap between gigs, and they may not all live in the same city anymore, but nobody ever suggested the band didn’t exist at any point (ignore all the reunion gigs)....
