Tim and Alex first met in October 2003, during a secondary school science lesson. After some time, they eventually got together in the music room, and just did some very disorganised jamming sessions. They continued to play away for about 6 months, with limited success.
Eventually they got their first break and were asked to perform a song for the school's Christmas concert. With Alex playing bass, Tim on drums, and a guy called Steve on guitar, they managed to throw a song together. However it was thrown together around about 5 hours before they were due on stage.
The band went through a series of bass players and rhythm guitarists and continued to play songs at school events etc.
Eventually the breakthrough came in March 2007, courtesy of Dan from 'Setting The Silence' who had secured a gig at Harriet Costello College in July, and 'The Clarity' had been shortlisted (a very short list of 1) to play with them. The band confirmed, on the proviso that they could get a bass player in time. Tim returned with Chris Beattie, a friend from work, and over 3 weeks, they got their heads down, practiced hard, and when the time came, they were ready. Well, almost.
On 14th July 2007, the band played their first live gig, to a crowd of just short of 100 people at Costello College, Basingstoke alongside 'Setting The Silence.' The gig was a success, despite Chris' best efforts to ruin their plans, by having his bass, which has active pickups, with a dead 9V. So after some rushing round before show time, the gig went ahead.
In August 2008, the band released their 6 track 'We'll Have The Last Laugh' EP. Its available now, for just £3. A limited amount of T-Shirts are still available, priced at just £6.50. Get both for £8.50. For more info, leave a message.
Since then, the band have continued to play gigs, both in Basingstoke and Southampton and spent the summer of 2009 gigging all across the south of England and building a fanbase. 2010 looks to be another good summer for the band and gigs are already on the cards.
Keep on rock and/or rollin'
