Mel formed The Hermit Crabs in January 2003 after a band that she was playing drums in was put on hold. That band was called California Snow Story. Time passed, old line-ups were exchanged for new, exciting shows were played at fun locations, sometimes in very small villages.
In 2005, Mel was a winner of the Burnsong national songwriting competition with a song called 'Feel Good Factor', and in January 2007 it became the title track of our debut release, a 4 track EP on the very excellent Matinée Recordings, which you can buy online right now!
Matinée released our first album, 'Saw You Dancing', in October 2007 and that was followed by the 'Correspondence Course' EP in 2009.
The band are currently rehearsing regularly once more and hope to follow up their recent successful gig at the Captain's Rest in Glasgow with many more.
