In their continual efforts to promote exciting Post Rock tours throughout the country, Nice weather For Airstrikes Records present two of the best bands of their genre, Maybe She Will and &U&I (Blakfish) to Brighton.
Maybe She Will is comprised of James Collins (Drums), Robin Southby (Guitar, Keyboards, Programming)and John Helps (Guitar, Keyboards). When they tour they are joined by Jamie Ward (Bass)

They have released two albums and numerous EPs, singles and remix compilations. In the UK and Europe their albums are available through Field Records and in Japan through Xtal.
Maybeshewill has toured the UK with And So I Watch You From Afar, Worriedaboutsatan, Fight Fire With Water and Cats and Cats and Cats, toured Russia and Japan, played with everyone from Foals to Johnny Truant, This Will Destroy You, 65daysofstatic and Amusement Parks On Fire, played the Dot To Dot, 2000trees, Truck, Hockley Hustle, Summer Sundae, Off The Cuff and Brainwash Festivals and been very bored in vans and on aeroplanes for a large proportion of their lives.

&U&I (BLAKFISH) -
The demise of UK post-punk band, Blakfish, came to an end at the start of 2010 when co-vocalist, Sam Manville parted ways with the band. This came as a great shock to members and fans alike as the guys were on tour round Europe at the time with Biffy Clyro. Since then the remaining members – Thomas Peckett, Richard Lee and Wiz – decided to not let the end of a 10-year career affect their ambitions.
Fast-forward to June 2010 and the trio have finished work on their debut EP with new project, &U&I. The five track EP stands highly against their peers and marks the beginning of a career which will see them go it alone as a trio. The EP is as honest it it comes. Fueled by frustration and anxiety that has taunted them since the start of the year, this is out-right one of the most honest debut’s the UK has produced for a long time.
