In a self induced coma

About Me



Moz, Mike & Ray ran a night called N.o.D.. Grimley Fiendish (now our VJ) won a toy xylophone at one of these nights gave it to Chris who proceeded to use it on one of his TremulousMonk albums. Liking the attitude and the sound, the lads from N.o.D. got together with Chris and were very soon joined by Tom, then Danny, then Dave, then Corbett on bass. The rest as the say, is a blur.
