2005 - Did lots of gigs as 3 piece, then Laura got stuck in USA...
2006 - Laura was in New York playing with Gridlocked, Lorna and Screw made bass and drums noise with Tom in east london.
2007 Laura came back! We dressed as bears for South London Punx Picnic, Tofu, Love and Frog for the Tofu's come back gig, Librarians for Fuk Reading, Zombies for Halloween and Red Robin Hood for a fantastic gig in Nottingham. Our favourite of the year was the Behind Bars punk/gay party in the squatted funeral parlour. We played with the Smears and Restarts, we drank too much vodka and we were covered in blood...
2008 Went on tour to South London dressed as Amy Winehouse (Screw looked best), went on tour to Spain and France dressed as monkies, made chaos, wrote songs about being drunk and how to avoid hamsters. Went to Berlin with 3 pots of glitter but no guitars (thanks Thought Assault!) Screw ended up on crutches and we made new hat fashion in Halle.
