Grunge/psych rock band Demob Happy formed in their hometown of Newcastle, U.K. in 2008, but it wasn't until they moved their operation south to the creatively open city of Brighton, in 2011, that they began to flourish. Operating out of the Nowhere Man Café that they partially owned, Matt Marcantonio (bassist, lyricist, lead singer), Tom Armstrong (drummer, vocalist), Matt Renforth (guitar, vocals), and Adam Godfrey (guitar, vocals) set about gaining a reputation for their raucous live shows and freewheeling spirit.
