We Have Band first performed live circa April 2008 and played their final gig in August 2015 and in-between created some infectiously funky electronic music.
We Have Band were Darren Bancroft, Dede Wegg-Prosser and Thomas Wegg-Prosser, the latter two married, all three former colleagues at EMI, who met and formed a band.
Oh! was their debut single in November 2008, re-released in June 2010. I latched onto the former via RCRD LBL and a clutch of remixes by Andrew 'Friendly Fires', Micachu aka Mica Levi) and Yo! Majesty aka Lashunda Flowers and Windy Baynham.
None of them featured here, though I have tracked down the two official videos and live performances from 2009, 2011 and 2015, the latter 55 days before their final gig. I've also included three of the remixes from the 2010 re-release, by Bit Funk, Vicarious Bliss and Filthy Dukes.
1) Oh! (2010 Video Version, directed by Blake Claridge)
2) Oh! (2008 Video Version, directed by Tom Ellis)
3) Oh! (Live @ Mohawk Inside Stage, Austin, Texas, USA, 20th March 2009)
4) Oh! (Live @ MELT Festival, Ferropolis Open Air Museum, Gräfenhainichen, Germany, 15th July 2011)
5) Oh! (Live @ The Lexington, London, 9th June 2015)

This is madness!
