History
They came together in 2007 as a backing band for Frank Sidebottom at his London shows, where they would play TV themes during the raffle.[1] They started playing concerts under the name Dream Themes in November 2008, and soon became known for their chaotic, unpredictable live performances featuring dozens of TV themes, including Grandstand, Ski Sunday, Antiques Roadshow and The Simpsons.[2]
They have performed at a number of festivals including Camp Bestival,[3] Beat-Herder,[4] Festival N°6[5] and The Wedding Present's Edge Of The Sea; their television appearances include The Paul O'Grady Show,[6] BBC4's Live From Television Centre[7] and London Live.[8]
In 2014 they released a digital-only 2-track single, The News At Ten O'Clock News, which featured the theme from ITN's News at Ten and the BBC's Ten O'Clock News. It had a total running time of 41 seconds.[9]
In 2016 they launched their own YouTube soap opera entitled Thamesmeerd.[10]
