Rhombus' style is rock/blues/pop/funk. |
||
|
Paul is based in Surrey, and sessions have been held at Paul's studio or wherever Jim is living at the time - be it Brighton or Den Haag! These are held on an ad-hoc basis so watch this space for future recordings! Both Paul and Jim play multiple instruments in a variety of ways, as evidenced by the photos below :-) |

| Paul and James have played on and off in bands together since secondary school band Censored (1986), with James on guitar and Paul on bass. | ||
| After completing secondary
school in summer 1986, Hanging Around was formed from members of Censored,
and here Paul and Jim both added original songs to the set list, and performed live on many occasions in the Manchester and Bury area. |
||
| When Hanging Around split,
Paul and Jim began recording in Road generally less
than 5m wide, untarred and made 4 track demos. It was then that
they were introduced to drummer Ivor Greenfield. Ivor's uncompromisingly funky rock style was captured on rehearsal recordings of the groups original material. |
||
| After a brief hook up with
IV Horsemen to form the MkII line up, with Paul now based in Birmingham
and Jim in Sheffield, they continued recording and rehearsing with various incarnations of IV Horsemen MkII with Ivor, during university holidays and sporadically in the years following. |

|
The next major project was Pressed.
This was based in Reading
in Dark Dank Studios. Pressed had regular jams/writing
sessions, and Paul and Jim experimented
with additional personnel in the line-up : for some sessions they played with John (occh it's yoor round shurely) Clark, and Phil (banjo) Walsh. However, it was just Paul and Jim who produced demo Dark Dank Demos in 1997.

| After Paul returned
from living in Copenhagen , Rhombus was formed in
2001, and continues to this day! |
