The Thirst - On The Brink

It was one night down at The Half Moon in Putney when Ronnie Wood discovered them. "He put it on the table there and then," laughs Mensah. "He just said, 'Yeah, I loved it.' He was cool, man… he's a legend."

A year later and their self-titled debut EP had sold out in two weeks, with its lead single 'My Everything' championed by Zane Lowe on Radio 1. The summer of '07 saw them on stage at the Isle of Wight Festival, Hyde Park Calling, Electric Gardens and Glastonbury, plus there were support shows for the Sex Pistols and Rolling Stones. "Let's just say there have been moments when we've really been bricking it," says Kwame. "With The Stones we played in front of 40,000 people in Croatia. It was utterly mind-blowing."

With 2008's SXSW already under their belts, next is a tour of Japan, the summer festival circuit, and a regional tour, but the lads have also been working with Pete Doherty: "Yeah, we're collaborating on his new album," says Kwame. "Whilst being stranded after a gig in Manchester, Pete took pity and brought us back to his place." The result was a late night jamming session and upcoming top secret track.
