Little Comets are an English indie rock trio from Jarrow and Washington, Tyne and Wear. They are described by as playing ‘kitchen sink indie’ music. In early 2009 the band were signed to Columbia Records following numerous gigs in strange locations such as lecture theatres and various modes of public transport and support from DJ Huw Stephens. After departing their major record label they released their début album, In Search of Elusive Little Comets, on 31 January 2011. The band released their second album, Life is Elsewhere, on 15 October 2012 under Dirty Hit records.
Third album "Hope is Just a State of Mind" was released in February 2015 on the band's own label and became the first of the band's albums to enter the UK Top 40 Album Chart, peaking at #31.
On 9 February 2009, the band released their début single “One Night in October” through Lucky Number Records on vinyl and via digital download. The single débuted at number 3 on the independent chart and received praise from BBC Radio 1 DJs Huw Stephens, Zane Lowe and Sara Cox, all of whom played the song on their respective shows.
Little Joanna's got big blue eyes
Coconut cream and coffee colored thighs
I could die lying in her arms
where castles are made of sand
We start to dance
But only the music is bleeding and crickets replace the band
She will always be my sunkissed trampoline,
She goes up and down in my heart,
Turned into jelly beans
And i'm starting to believe that danger's never near,
When Joanna is here.
Little Joanna's like a lazerbeam sky.
Her gluteus maximus like a firefly
And That's why i'm kissaphobic
Well cellulite dreams are made, like lemonade,
But when the shivers are salty and seafoam's the colour of space.
She will always be my sunkissed trampoline,
She goes up and down in my heart,
Turned into jelly beans
And i'm starting to believe that danger's never near,
When Joanna is here.
God, I love Joanna
But she don't understand much
I love it when our hands touch
Knowing that I'm near
Apple-flavored lip gloss
Gillies wear a necklace
Feeling young and reckless
When Joanna is here
Little Joanna's got big blue eyes
I could die lying in her arms
where castles are made of sand
We start to dance
But only the music is bleeding and crickets replace the band
She will always be my sunkissed trampoline,
She goes up and down in my heart,
Turned into jelly beans
And i'm starting to believe that danger's never near,
