    Cuckoo disbanded alright.....
    They were from Derry if I remember correctly.

    AFAIK the lead singer from Cuckoo is now the Lead singer with Jetplane landing (? Ross ?)

    Both bands were/are excellent

    When Cuckoo were dropped by Geffen records, two of them - Cuckoo guitarist Andrew and bassist Jamie relocated to London and reformed as Jetplane Landing, recording and self-releasing their debut album themselves. The drummer is Jamie's brother (I think) and other guitarist Cahir also comes from Derry. They are consistently breaking ground in the UK, by sheer dint of their hardworking DIY ethos - their homemade video was playlisted on MTV2 recently, which is a major achievement! Great band.

    His name is Andrew Ferris and he's a top bloke. Manofspeed is spot on with his info...Jamie (Burchell) plays bass, his brother Raife is the drummer, and Cahir O'Doherty (also plays in Derry band Clearshot) makes up the foursome, playing guitar. Current album, Zero For Conduct, is quite good, and the ep El Quatre Gats is out at the moment, featuring the song Acrimony, which is playlisted on MTV2 at the moment. Request the song on mtv2's website to help keep 'em in the public eye.

    They are a top band, and should be touring in the early months of next year. Clearshot (Cahir's band) will also be touring soon.

    Check out www.jetplanelanding.com and go to the community section for the bands forum...you'll find me on there most nights.
