DRINK MORE BEER!!

About Me

Well it all started one day in a drunken stupor. Two friends (Mark & Nick) thought it'd be fun to make some punk songs at home. They posted some ov them on www.mp3.com.au/FloatingRoach and got positive feedback. They just started it as a joke and found ppl liked their music. A few months later they gotta gig and decided it was about time to get a drummer. Thats where Shane 'punk guy' came in. He also played in a Metal band and was supposed to be a temp but stayed with them for over a year. They knew they needed a second Guitarist for giggin so they asked Adam(A2) aka Wolf to play. They gigged for awhile and it was goin great but Shane had to leave because of other commitments (Pun intended) and Matt woolhouse stepped up to play drums as of the fact he was gonna be the original Drummer. He currently lives in Adelaide but it doesn't stop the guys from playing shows. Not long after Matt started with the band Nick left for personal reasons and the guys were suddenly back to a three peice. A little tweaking with the music, new haircuts and more drinking they set off gigging again. So i think i got all the story so far. They have an ep and an album under their belts and a soon to be released ep so come along for the ride a see the guys drink and play.Seeyou at a gig real soon.Also if you can contact the Street team via e-mail at [email protected] F.R.S.T
