Sendelica formed in 2005 and comprise core members Pete Bingham (guitars and electronics), Colin Consterdine (beats, synths),Glenda Pescado (bass ) and Lee Relfe (saxophones); they wear their influences on their sleeves and their music has been described as blending the hypnotic pulse of Can, the atmospherics of Pink Floyd, the motorized proto-punk of Neu, the guitar pyrotechnics of Jimi Hendrix and the otherworldly ambiences of The Orb They draw inspiration from the local landscapes of Cardigan Bay and the Preseli Mountains and the ancient heritage of the region. Following on from the critically acclaimed, and sold out, album ‘And Man Created God‘ which investigated the relationship between Man and Religion, Pete Bingham began to look into what made a hominid a ‘Man‘? It seems that deciphering when exactly man became ‘Man‘ is as tricky a subject to answer as religion, so many false starts and dead ends, and even trickier is where are we headed as a species? Extinction or new horizons? Such are the disagreements between expert palaeontologists and anthropologists that one such expert quipped ‘One Man‘s Man Is Another Man‘s Monkey.‘
