Barb are James Milne (aka Lawrence Arabia), , Eliza-Jane, and his Connan and
the Mockasin bandmate Seamus Ebbs. Barb is the result of a 3 year long distance
relationship which culminated in the 5 friends converging on Auckland's
Roundhead Studios to create an album of rich joys, with tales of lesbian lovers,
adventures on the Nile and, and even a four year old's obsession with Leonardo
DiCaprio.
Liam says of the collaboration; "It seemed only natural. We have been
involved in each other's music for so long... getting up to play at each other's
shows... touring together when possible, we knew starting a band together would
be fun... but we had no idea what it would sound like."
