About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorHey, we're YouNameUs, we're kind of punk/grunge/alternative. Or what we call "Alternative Punge" because we're pure genius's's's's...
Okay, so here's how it happened. The dudes had the band almost sorted for a long time but had no drummer, until Polchi met Katie and introduced her to Tom and Tom introduced her to Ben and hence the full band. So here we had the band..But without Polchi because he was in Australia and had been for a year, but was due home. And first few practices left Tom and Katie in hysterical fits of laughter over Bens clumsiness and bad luck. Tripping and falling over, being electricuted, nose bleeds, losing car keys, smashing his back window and the list goes on. But then Polchi came back to us and still the bad luck continues with Ben. Then after we recorded the songs and kitkat left for England for A MONTH! Paul decided he was bored playing music so he left us. BUT we still consider him a member and he can come back any time he wants. Since then we've just been gigging and have recorded 2 more times, the latest songs are the ones up right at this moment. We're gonna be taking a little break for a while now (no big deal, those of you who know us know why, those of you who don't, it's none of your business) but we will be back as soon as we can. IGGY POP IS GOD!!!!
IF ANYONE WANTS A FREE COPY OF OUR CRAPPY CD (IT HAS NO PROPER PACKAGING OR COVER) LET US KNOW AND WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU
Tom: "I wanna be the illegitimate lovechild of Iggy Pop and Brody Dalle
Ben: "We're shit hot, they're shit and I'm hot"
Katie: "Wanka"
