Our 0540 Time in the UK tour starts in Camden, London, on February 18th. Then we travel to Coventry on February 19th, followed by a show in Manchester’s Northern Quarter on February 22nd.

Our band’s membership is international, including two Swiss musicians. We love writing songs inspired by our lives in the beautiful Montreux area, but we believe our music deserves a wider audience.
So, we’re touring for the first time in the home of some of the world’s most iconic rock and indie bands. We’d love to see you at our shows. Make sure you tell your friends, families and business contacts in the UK, and please share this post on social media.
Listen to our music via our website, or on Spotify.
