HooraH WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY PROUD MEMBERS OF THE DREAM TEAM! 

The Akibas are a band from the South West of England.

We are currently writing a lot of new material and plan to record an album in Jan feb march of 2009 at our studio www.myspace.com/valvetastic This will be released a year or so before we release our Sellaband album (current speed of growth) Our Sellaband album will be the big budget grand opus and will contain epic productions of all our best material as well as lots of new stuff!

Two of the three songs above are from the current album "Queen of the South" which we recorded and self-released in 2007.

The band are excited to meet "believers" and think the sellaband concept is fantastic.

We have have played a flurry of shows this year sharing the stage with the hilarious Newton Faulkner and the spellbinding Kate Walsh, also an intimate show with Mark Eitzel from Americana legends American Music Club and most recently we shared a fantastic evening of music with Sellaband favourite, beautiful songstress Ellie Williams.

In fact it was Ellies suggestion that inspired us to sign up to Sellaband.
