About Me

There's a band called The Peaks...who used to be Saidaside (but without Diamond)...and who actually used to be The Favourite Game who had a drummer called Chirpy (who is still their drummer) but who had played with the fabulous Beekeepers (and still plays with the fabulous Blueline Medic) who was also, at the time, in another band called The Mars Bastards who shared a few shows with bands like The Cherrytones and Dear Octopus who (amongst others) metamorphed into a new band called Fuzzswirl but eventually became Ammonia but meanwhile The Mars Bastards had disbanded whilst the Favourite Game shifted states and The Rainyard (where Jeff from the 'Bastards had played) joined with Ian from the 'Bastards and this became Header (who also shifted states) and Ammonia toured THE states and released a couple of very fine albums but eventually quitted whilst Jeff played with Tokyo 5 and DM3 and Showbag! and Spokaine but also shifted states and stumbled across The Peaks who had received Diamond into their fold and along with Ian (given that Header had finished) rejoined Chirpy who brought along Natty and Diamond in search of a name which became...well, eventually it became the Lazybirds. Are you with me?
