The myth states that they met in a pub, but experimentalÌýelectronica trio Silverlake are Sally-Ann Parker, Tony Sherrard and Robin Dallaway.
Ìý
They're heavily influenced by the likes of The Coen Brothers, David Lynch and Miles Davis.
Ìý
The band stand strong through their experiences of dancing and clubbing as well as the survival of Sherrard’s motorbike accident where he was told he may never walk again.
Ìý
New single ‘Black Ponytail’ is out soon alongside the release of their second album, following on from the chilled-out debut ‘Paradise Place’.
Ìý
"Beautiful yet alternative electronica delivered like rock musicians!" - Andrew Marston.

As it says on their website: "Please note Beermageddon is loud and small children should have ear defenders".

Highlights: Olliefest, Ross-on-Wye
This year's Olliefest took place last weekend - and, this year, was extended to three days.
Ìý
The free event, which costs around £20,000 to stage, has been made possible by enormous generosity from the local community.
Ìý
Organisers mainly booked tribute acts, such as 'Robbie Williams', 'UB40' and 'Coldplay', but a number of local performers were also on the bill.
Ìý
The get-together began as a tribute to Ollie Floyd, who died aged 20, when a buggy his was driving overturned while working as a groundsman at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.
Ìý
He'd been an active member of Ross Rugby Club, where the three-day festival took place.

Project Director, Scott Garrett, says:Ìý"We work with independent recording studios, venues and rehearsal rooms across the country to provide original bands with free weekly rehearsal time, free recording time to record two radio quality singles with marketing and promotion business plans.
Ìý
"The artists we work with retain 100% of the rights in their music and do not pay a penny for our services.
Ìý
"We currently work with 250+ bands per year and have a team of 28 staff to provide these free services in cities like Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Southampton, Oxford and London. Our head office is in Kidderminster."
