About Me

It began in the nineties when gentlemen loved grunge together. A Golden Age for all. In 2005, they formed 'Tom Waits For No One' a Tom Waits covers band that transcended the most literal abstractions of life as it was once known. Four of this group's gentlemen are now La Rimbombante, who populate local drinking halls and dance discos wth their musical skulduggery. Two are dead. Not really. The drummer is at University. Now they love each other as well as you, but not as much, and want you to share in their dream of suburbs populated by literate Ladies and Gentlemen, complete with sandwiches and wine. And biscuits.
