History
editThe band formed, initially as a trio of just Sanguigni, York Williams, and Iossifidis, to play that year's First Timers held at DIY Space for London.[1] Members of the band also helped to run later editions of the festival.[2]
Sanguigni and York Williams are both originally from Southern California, meeting at University of California, Santa Cruz, and separately moved to London shortly before forming the band.[1]
In 2017 they released an EP titled Jelly on Keroleen Records.[3]
Estella Adeyeri, also of Big Joanie, joined the band on guitar in 2018.[4]
In 2020 they released a full-length album, Cause A Stir, on Bristol punk label Specialist Subject Records.[1][4] This was followed by a split 7" with Big Joanie on Kill Rock Stars.[5]
Charmpit played their final concert at Sebright Arms in Cambridge Heath, East London, on 8 July 2022.[6]
