Band Members: JOEL COOTE - Vox/Guitar
Joel is the singer, guitarist and all round ideas man. A creative bee hive of a guy. With a lust for life, music, Red Stripe and Blue Nun! He can be very excitable but also harbours a sensitive side. Emotionally bionic and lives to love everything and everyone. He had malaria in 2003 but fought off the disease with a mixture of skill, style and bravery. As well as street dancing, directing traffic and smelling things one of Joels many quirks is that he plays the penny whistle in the bath. One interesting fact about Joel is that when he gets out of the shower he dries himself with the skins of wolves, slayed by his ancestors. His favourite state is a solid state, he has an accute disgust and hatred of gasses! He can talk to birds and has a fondness for oriental weapons. He learnt to sing whilst living in the woods as a teenager, his wilderness years shaped his unique personality, his style as a juvenile was raw as can be, living with a family of bohemian Badgers and integrating into a woodland society. It was there he gained his trademark knack of burrowing and insatiable appetite for worms and berries. He loves meatballs and anything orange coloured!
JONO TWOHEY - Lead Guitar/Vox
Jono is in love with his guitar. Literally! Injuring his groin, solar-plexus and mouth on tremolo arms, strings and high octane pick-ups! Having studied guitar for years he quit suddenly in 2001 after seeing a horrific accident at London zoo. For nearly a year after he had reoccuring dreams where he was being chased down Chancery Lane in London by hundreds of donkeys. Just as Jono was about to make it to the tube station and escape the marrauding beasts they gain an extra yard of pace and trampled him to death! Then after a night out on the sauce Jono walked past a tramp busking on the street close to his summer home. He was appauled at the vagrants lack of technique and poor sense of timing. In a blind rage he ripped the guitar off of the man and played the sweetest of tunes, a crowd gathered, he was alive again! He smashed the instrument over the tramps head and ran off at high speed! He was later arrested, but his faith in the guitar and music in general was back! Jono is an enigma wrapped in a riddle surrounded by smoke. If you had to sum his personality up in a quisine/dish, he would be a Thai green curry.
MATT TATHAM - Bass
Matt "The Bat" as he is known in some circles is the youngest of the INCA menagerie. He plays the bass, mastering all FOUR strings by the age of 5! Since then he has took up playing many other instruments, including himself. Matt loves being in a band as it is a great way for him to meet people and share his leftfield beliefs with people from many different walks of life. It could have been very different for young Matt as he was expelled from High School for telling his form tutor that "There was a party in his pants and she was on the A list!" Luckily Matt found a more creative outlet for his energy and lust, joining INCA and fitting snuggly into his role in the band like a warm kitten. Music aside Matts interests include riding the train, setting off fire alarms, shooting his air pistol at the ornaments in his house and poetry!
JAMES SMITH - Drums
James is a drummer who loves to hit his pots and pans! He has a fondness for waterparks and loves nothing more than to spend a quite afternoon with his friends watching animals mating at a local farm . James is a gentle flower often misunderstood, but if you scratch away at that harsh looking facade you will reap the sweetest of fruits. He studied at "The School Of Drums" but left under a cloud of controversy, for legal reasons specific details cannot be included on this site! But the rumours about fish, water-beds and 2 off-duty police officers are innacurate and unfounded. Controversy aside James is a true sport, likes a laugh, loves water colours and helping injured animals, oh and he's a mean ass drummer!!!
