The Pink Flamingos – I Was (2019)
The Pink Flamingos is a new band formed by Beau Halford (vocals, songwriter) on a night out where he met Will Looms (guitar). After their first meeting, Ash Brandon (bass), Nick Cowan (keys) and May Lascelles (drums) were brought into the project. Since coming together, the band has been creating music and releasing tracks.
