Sounds Like:In his home town of Malmö Sweden at the tender age of just six years the youngling Henrik Widing bought his first record: Motörheads Iron Fist. Since then that’s all he’s ever dreamt of, that one day emulating his heroes into the golden light of Rock God status! (Sad fucker, we know!)so youngling Henrik Widing joined a band later to become known as Sovjet. “We recorded one split-lp, one picture-single and maybe some other stuff. The music I guess you can call progressive psychogenic. We had one gig before we changed names to Vilgot, who recorded two lp:s and had one gig before we ended the suffering”.In the early nineties Vinny not pissed again Quinn and The Rain Men plagued the tough club circuit of Birmingham England, from The Hibernian, The Bear Tavern to JBs. The Rain Men (Tony the Bear Roberts (Drums), Gary the voice Watson (vocals), and St Paul Watson the (bass) spread there special brand of Rock music, raw and undisciplined mostly in an intoxicated and premeditated state of joy! (Pissed as farts) but always entertaining, always performing there own material with a great repertoire of hard rock songs that Vinny took pride in writing.(And therefore thought they were great) They managed to steal a host of shows. (And fuck up a boat load to).The club scene was broad and a number of named bands had served out there apprenticeship and eventually made there way to fame and fortune, Black Sabbath, Slade, Duran Duran, Dexys midnight runners, UB40, the list goes on and on and the music styles differ greatly, but they all have one thing in common, that great Live Birmingham training ground that served them all so well. Now combining all our talents, we are one kick ass Rock Band, newly formed but playing together and creating songs that most bands could only cream about creating. With intentions of stealing all the shows we play. We are Stone Ticket the best ass kicking rock band to see!
