Formed around 2003 by Neale and Colin outside Snack Packers in Salisbury, Pyeshoppe was always intended to be a larger than life, back to basics 2 or 3 chord punk rock band, mainly because at the time Neale only knew 2 or 3 chords. The band was formed from the debris of many band in and town at the time. Colin's band history is far to long and tedious to go into at any length here but being a founder member of Mad Cow Disease ought to mentioned. Colin has been in and out prison for various crimes against music but is over that now! Neale and Tim have been in bands together for ever. The Badgeman and The Original Howling Gods to name but two. Along with Mickey, erstwhile bass player and fellow convict, these four intrepid old heroes strode forth to take the musical world by storm. After about eight pints, "Get me coat" was written and instantly became a cult classic, adored by all four of us. More songs were written, gigs came thick and fast, riches, women, drugs and all the trappings of a true rock and roll existence completely evaded us. it was at this moment that Neale, realising that he really couldn't play guitar whilst pissed disbanded the outfit and went away to ponder the next move. A year passed and rumblings of a Pyeshoppe reunion started to occur. In a moment of panic and sheer brilliance Dazman was recruited and with him came odd sounding guitar weirdness and released Neale from the hell of looking like a twat with a guitar. The mighty Pyeshoppe were reborn, a world tour of salisbury, andover and amesbury took the band to another dimension. The power of the Dazman, his intuitive nature and blinding ignorance of anything else the band was doing was a breath of fresh air. Dazman, also being a Howling god, it was probably to be expected. Fairly recently the band was joined by Satanic Hellpreacher (formerly known as Ian). No one asked him but then no one was gonna argue with him. His booming keyboards added subtlety, variation and a calming aura of respectability to a band that was beggining to take itself far to seriously. For the last 12 months the band has been managed by Mig, Her gusto, willingness to put the band and it's eclectic parts before anything else makes her a truly beloved member of the Pyeshoppe clan. Her inability to actually let anyone know where she is or what's happening is a mere inconvienience. September 21st saw a seismic shift in the core and substantial underbelly that is the Pyeshoppe family. D Day as it was to become known saw Dazman announce that he needed to leave the band to further his career in embriodery and crochet. This news was greeted with much hilarity and completely ignored by the rest of the band. The true gravity of the situation only became clear at the next band practice when we were suddenly finding ourselves 50% short on the guitarist front. Not to be daunted by such a major problem with a gig only two weeks away we took the situation by the balls and got totally shitfaced and gibbered inanely all night until we had the inspired idea of phoning an old mate and former lunatic known as Skid. He had no choice but to accept and immediately got to grips with complex and twisting riffs, licks and delicate nuances that personify the band. He has turned out to be a revellation and his first gig coincided with nubile young women clambering on stage and taking their clothes off. What with his animal magnetism and being the owner of a car and not drinking, Skid is perfect for the balance of the band and that is no mean feat. God bless 'im.With a combined age of 427 and combined weight of 127 stone we feel at ease knowing we're the biggest band around and who's gonna argue!!! Being true devotees of the mighty Salisbury city FC, we felt compelled to write the definitive footy song..... THEE ARMY, WHITE ARMY....I'll get me coat!Pyeshoppe - Fatwa (hard enough)
