Meanwhile, here’s some stuff about Ploff.... and remember Kids, Truth is often stranger than Fiction. Ploff, aka: PloffMeister, P.Meister, Ploffster, Sneaks, Sneaky D, Sneaky Doodle Ploffter is a reclusive and near legendary musician, songwriter and drummer. He plays stuff he likes when he wants to and when he's not interested, he's very tricky to find. He has played with and hung out with famous people and once knocked Kate Moss on her arse on St. John's Wood High Street, (while out buying hats with a man he would later throw into a shrubbery) but he's not complaining. He plays with Hoof most of the time except when they play with the other drummer bloke, Dave Knight, who has recently joined a European based Electronic Religious Cult based in Dave's apartment in Munich Keynes. It's a German New Town apparently with concrete sausages and a Dave. He also plays with Zebra Side Panels depending which day of the week it is and more recently has been spotted jamming with the Bo Beckford Quartet. His music is all over the place and you've probably even heard it. It's on the TV, surf and skate videos, on the Radio and lots of other difficult to reach places. If you want to know more check out everybody else’s myspace pages and then ask if they know of the D. He likes to keep himself to himself most of the time except when he's being sociable and he doesn't have much time for idiots which is a bit of a shame seeing as he is one. He began dreaming about playing the drums after seeing Animal from the Muppets and Stewart Copeland from the Police arsing about in videos. Later on it was entirely Phil Taylor of Motorheads fault that he decided to actually learn to play. Beyond that, Clive Burr and Nicko from Maiden were influences as is Chad from the Chili Peppers today. He is not interested in Jazz at all or in showing off behind his kit or playing boring solos (mainly cos he can't!). Instead he prefers to let the groove and the beat argue among themselves while he has a quiet smoke. He is often called tight but thinks this is some kind of musician's compliment rather than a slight on his inability to prise his wallet from his pocket. He has been compared to a train but has recently been ill and lost weight. He writes songs with his few real friends when he can be located and occasionally works with other non-friends, which he finds difficult because he has to do as he's told. He is also half of the infamous "Rhythm Section" (the other half being a certain Wayne "Easy B" Banks) that upset an Israeli/ Irish singer/songwriter by turning up for a photo shoot for his album "Playing Tennis Behind Enemy Lines" with severe Mohicans, resulting in unforeseen expenditure because said Israeli/Irishman had to buy a lot of hats. Speak to Aerosmith's people Aslan, I bet fuckin hats were the least of their worries. He can sometimes be seen walking his big, brown dog but mostly he can be heard.
