About Me

Andrew and David first began jamming together during 2004 at Zen studios, Stoke Newington, running through an electic mix of raucous songs. The lyrics and chords came afterwards once the tapes had been deciphered.The duo played their first gig at the Aquarium in Old St, when a support band pulled out at the last minute. Julian (Drinkme) later generously gave them a car since of the band's previous two, one failed M.O.T. and was reduced to a block of conceptual art, whilst David's Saab had been totalled when he was practicing on black ice.However, David had other ideas. He swapped the car for beautiful rusty pick-up. The band had found a sound, a name and a way of getting it out... My Profile Generator
