Flat 29 are Dan, Rich and Charlie. They make beautiful and silly music together, as well as hosting a regular comedy podcast, "Flat 29's Big Book of Everything."
They met in around 2004 at a poncy perfoming arts school, doing degrees in Sound Technology and Music Management. They did once live together in a "flat 29", but this has since been burned to the ground (not by them), so the name now describes them as a collective entity, rather than any kind of physical building.
Through a shared love of music and comedy they formed a band, and over their years living together put out three full studio albums (and counting), available from their website.
After leaving their shared flat there was a brief hiatus, until November 2009, when they started to create and release their fortnightly comedy podcast. In this podcast, they create a brand new song for every chapter, meaning they have a very high turnover of new material, in their everlasting quest to throw just enough sh*t at the wall in the hope that some of it sticks. In any case, there will probably have to be a lot of cleaning up of the wall in question and surrounding areas afterwards, which noone is looking forward to..
