About Me

Well, to keep the story short & concise, Dan got a band going at Malton school as a distraction from his studies, recruiting drummers Sara & El as well as guitarist Chris Chambers. For reasons we'd rather not talk about, Chambers disappeared VERY quickly, and Chris Postill was hired in his place. A singer was found in Aimee, but it wasn't long before Sara & El quit for their own reasons. Persevering regardless, they had to recover from Aimee dropping out to make sure she didn't Fail her exams. Replacement singer & drummer Lewis & Ryan were found & disposed of with frightening speed, until Chris & Dan (by now the only members left)had decided to quit until a very Last Minute mini-performance in Pickering made us change our minds, (and actually got somewhere for the first time since almost a year before). Then with recruiting Lewis again for vocal duties to let Chris get sharper on guitar. A few months of bad luck & drummer looking got us playing gigs, but unnoticed by all save a few bands. Playing an awesome show at the Big gig at the Lodge before Chris went off to uni, we decided to quit on a high. After a brief and turbulant "reunion" in the summer of 2008, We're now more or less R.I.P. With Lewis studying in Manchester, Chris in Stoke and Dan with a decent job, the whole premise is more or less a Goner. However, stranger things have happened, and Chris is back to keep a regular eye on what's happening, so we'll see what happens... We maybe be back in a different guise in the holidays, just wait and see...
