A V8 on idle you can't get more musical than that!

Other stuff we dig, but don't base the Band on.

Gasty- Has played for various Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, & blues bands & collects 50's, 60's punk, soul, Beat, Blues, R & B, Rockabilly, Cajun anything with Attitude or passion or just gives you that Rock n Roll BUZZ.
And Aussie pub Rock it has that certain DUMBASS Rock n Roll appeal.

Brend - Digs all of our Major influences & stresses his passion for Little Richard & The Upsetters & other Sax based R'N'R and R&B .

Also plays for the Death Valley Surfers.

Boris digs-Led Zep, the Legendary Shack shakers, The Dirtbombs, Southern culture on the skids & The Detroit Cobras (this is one band we all agree on).

Also plays with 7 piece soul band "The Confessions".

Nozzer- Has just bought A '70 panel van (VW restoration is his Biz), and the sound of grinding & welding adds a certain Je ne sais quois to The Arousers pot. The flat four kicks ass.

Dodo- Out of action for a while but still digs, Surf,Garage,Frat,Trash Rock'n' Roll, Blues, R&B. If you've ever met him, not the kind of character you are likely to forget.

When he can play without chuckin' his sticks around, he has threatened to come back.

Rock on Dodo.
