About Me

After Sticky's band Ass Machine broke up, Chris, who's band Bag Of Nines had just come to an end, sent her a message on myspace and said - Hey Dude, let's start a band. It'll be like Fastbacks meets The Breeders!
Sticky said, Ya Man - let's rock! What's the point of not rocking? No point that I can see.
Down they went... into the hot pink basement (where all good music comes from) Now they have emerged and are making noise at a club near you.
