Guitarists (and principal composers) Dan Chudley and Kavus Torabi have sporadically worked together on several projects sharing much of the sound and spirit of their previous band. The first of these was Miss Helsinki, a 2003 band with Richard Larcombe (bass, from Stars In Battledress) and with James Keddie drumming when available: the sound of the group was similar to that of The Monsoon Bassoon, but minus the woodwind/reeds and with considerably simpler song structures.
