BIO:
Here’s the 4-11. There was this guy. Who wanted to form a band. “But anyone can form a band and play gigs,” said he. So he set a goal. By August 2007 this band must accomplish indie rock n roll glory by headlining the Mecca of Melbourne rock bands ... The Espy front bar, then disband. Why? Why the F@&K not!
That was early 2007 and they disbanded. But due to public outcry, gambling debts and death threats, they continued on. They released an album called "Finally famous" at the Hi Fi bar in November 07, filmed a video clip for "Shoeshine" and had it aired on RAGE, headlined Revolver, Ding Dong, Weekender, etc etc, and finally headlined the Espy front bar in June 2008, with a 6 piece gospel choir, 2 trumpets and bongos. Woot!
New EP out now with tunes all over radio. Get onto it!

Well, we all know what's been missing from Rage and Video hits of late. The lack of 80's hair rock video clips. Such pioneering video's such as Europe's "The final countdown", Poisons "Every rose has...
