About Me

Imagine, a turquoise kitchen in a small house in the mountains. There are three dogs, three sheep, two pigs, a pony , a mule and twelve chickens in the garden. In the kitchen there are chairs a-plenty, a hot kettle, a table full of various liquid relief, probably a pie and a bowl full of picks and capos. Go into the other room and pick yourself a guitar, or if you don't play that, a marraca, rainstick, bodhran or tamboreen. Or bring your own implement. Welcome to Ron and Vicks place, meet the extended family, (Gus, Larry, et al) and become one of them! This is what we're all about! Cheers!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/25/2008
Band Website: myspace.com/thewatercats
Band Members:

Vicky Ind: Rhythm guitar, sings a bit, writes stuff, can't cook, likes hats and collects useless animals. Big fan of the Munster Buy & Sell.

Ron Batteson: fiddley bits, slidey bits, lead guitar, harmonica player, supplier of obscure wisdom, indulgent of fine wines, always dresses in black except when in a bad mood when he wears really, really, really dark grey. He is scared of heights and standing up.

Gus Wilkinson: guitars, bass, percussion, tambourine bordering on infant school level, v. basic keyboards, technical stuff like pressing the 'Record' button, player of hard (overloud, not difficult) chords, likes sleep, generally prefers to be left alone by the world.

Larry Powers: roadie if he ever gets his license, drummer if he ever learns to play them, security when his probation period ends. *If anyone sees Larry could they please let us know. Last seen heading West in a blue and white camper van. We think his dogs may have eaten him. * It's alright! We found him! He was in the ditch round the corner all along!
Influences: Bob (obviously), Nick Cave, Patti Smith, The Stones, Led Zep, Lennon (not McCartney!), Blues, Acoustic and a vast range of other good stuff, naturally!
Sounds Like: ummmmmm....dunno, leave that up to you....
Record Label: Who needs them!?
Type of Label: None
