My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 21/11/2006
Band Website: This is it!
Band Members: _____________Simon Patchett - (Lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitars), Duncan Stewart- (Drums, cowbell) _____________________________________________________Our fallen comrades who are no longer in the band but deserve a mention for their amazing contributions:______________________________________________ _____Ciaran Bolland- (Drums, cowbell and backing vocals) Robbie Crook- (Drums, cowbell) Colin White- (Lead and rhythm guitars) Dave Macdonald- (Bass and sometimes backing vocals at gigs)
Influences: Music-related Influences;Well each member has their own influences which you can see in their bios (above). However in my opinion our sound/direction can be linked back to (in no particular order) Led Zeppelin, The Who, Cream, The Black Crowes, The Foo Fighters, the Rolling Stones, The Clash, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple and many other great bands and artists whether they be rock, punk, blues or other. Though obviously we're not as good as them but we try! Lol. Keep jammin' Simon (lead vocals, guitar)----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Other Influences; Beer, Nachos, Pool (Dave is officiallly the best player in the band despite being the youngest!), Jagermeister (straight or mixed with orange, coke or whatever), Family Guy, Takeshi's Castle, other great things on TV, cult films, late nights on the town (well Simon and Colin at least!), the crazy situations we end up in, the various venues we play, the interesting people we meet on the music scene and of course our beautiful friends and fans who we love so much and make it all worthwhile! Keep jammin' Simon (lead vocals, guitar)
Sounds Like: A refreshing concoction of classic rock, late 80s-mid 90s indie, punk and the blues. Overflowing with attitude and packed with a punch. Enjoy! We'll see you on the dance floor!
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: Unsigned
