Buoyed by music discoveries such as Joe Meek\'s home-recorded 50s pop and Daniel Johnston\'s cassette tapes, housemates, James Finlay, Theresa Wrigley and Angi Fletcher formed Fists in the spare bedroom of their home (Nottingham, England) in 2006. Some primitive early 4-track recordings and oft ramshackle live shows followed which saw the the band expanding to a 5 piece with the addition of Joe Wrigley and Peter Conway in 2007.
