About Me


let me introduce you...
James Dixon has an insanely good voice, and a strange habit of attempting to "funk up" every song he hears with frequent "ooh yeahs" and "mm hmmm yeeeeee" etc. He also likes to eat microphones, and pull off strange stage moves that will leave you thinking "what HAS he been taking?"
Tom Hall is a guitarist, lyricist and singer. He plays keyboard every now and then too. He is the smallest of the band, but this gives you no reason to refer to him as "lil tom" as this would bring him ever closer to being "lil chris", in which case he would have to shoot himself.
Matt Sheffield is actually a spy from the future sent for reasons unknown. When he forgot his original futuristic mission he decided to play bass in some random band instead. If you ever wondered where he gets those unbelievable clothes from- try the year 3039.
James "the groomster" groom is a drummer with the mental abilities of a burnt chip. He once tried to help remember his name by taping a large J onto his chest. He also has the word "safe" written on one of his shoes, and "blad" on the other. I think that says it all.
And this loud-noise-making, shambolic ruckus-causing gang of teenage fools are collectively known as...
"THE FAHRENHEITS"
And well, they don't half put on a show!

Influences: friday nights, monday mornings, tank tops, the wisest of star wars characters, Red bull, Red Bull and more red bull, guitar jumps off 3-foot amps, the fact that when drummers spin their sticks round in their hands they don't actually spin they just move left to right really fast, scarf stealing scaliwags who then spray it with barbie dust and force you to wear it till the pink goodness burns through your heart like a phoenix from the flames!, novelty shirts, chavs, tom's non-fiction book currently being written: 'when stage dives go wrong', that maccy d's dance off game on msn, bulgarian erotic bar/sex shop adverts, Revealing posters (usefull for writing words on), 4 rubbers that look exactly like us, people with hi hats on their head, Spiked J2O, tom and jum's "mosh dancing", james' "i clearly do not want to dance" dancing, matt's blatant lack of dancing, spontaneous unco-operative drum solos, cats laced knickers, spontaneous unco-operative guitar solos, Gothic bass drum heads, Bulgarian supermodels such as Emelia, Wankob and Ramanob,mooooon gel, the fresh prince of bel air, everything that became a craze in the 90s as we grew up (eg. pogs, pokemon cards, yoyos etc),Timmy and the bleach, The flourescent coat family, Retard pool (AKA one handed pool), a combined undeniable hatred for Noel Edmands, Bingo- Don't Diss, gaytards, chemos, The cool ones, the kandii shop, Matts pointy shoes AKA- the ball crunchers, minibar bills, Shark, the hat of great amazement, The shirt we scribbled on, the phrase: "and you call me a retard!?", proper english gentlemen, golf clubs (as in a club you play golf with), golf clubs (as in a club that plays golf together), the power rangers (they were all the coolest people on the planet ever... except red had womanly hair...he was james' favorite) aftershock, broken strings, bulgarian brandy, broken amps, broken leads, unusually bright colours,"bass blisters", none of us knowing how to work a P.A system, made-up words (eg. Jum's proud work-Chascals and Guesstimating, James work-JEB-END ), that huge statue of link off zelda upstairs in game station, ukeleles, expressive arts homework sheets (useful for writing set lists on), the vic band room,the unprecedented appearence of a second sofa in the vic band room, and last but not least:
good bands.
