About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
So what's this just a bass player and a drummer? No other musicians hiding in the corner? 'fraid not! What you see is what you get. Two blokes ,two instruments and two voices giving 100% passion for music and communication. 100% weren't always like this and it certainly wasn't planned, 10 years ago the band started as a 4 piece band with two guitarists, Lee and Steve Morey(who is also on myspace and is now in a band called Juice). Lee left after 1 gig so we carried on playing the London pub circuit as a 3 piece and then as a 4 piece, even going up to a 5 piece for a short while. The band went through many changes in line up including Steve 00 and Steve Bongo(also on myspace, check Bongo's music). So who are these two? 100% are now: Marco Frangos-Bass,Vocals John Hire-Drums,Vocals John and Marco were always the principle songwriters and motivators of the group so it seemed natural to continue as a dynamic duo!We have now successfully relocated to the CZ Republic and we have been welcomed here with open arms.Since playing our first few gigs we have met some wonderful people who have helped us get more gigs and have recommended us to some wicked festivals.The support and encouragement we have had here has been mind blowing.The CZ's really know how to look after you (unlike in London). They offer you drinks,food, accommodation, and even help us carry our gear in to the venue.We say a special thanks to those people how have helped us since we came here, we are eternally grateful.CURRENT NEWS Well we recorded our album in just 3 DAYS in june but it is going through a lengthy mixing and production process.Yes it is taking alot longer than we thought but the best things come to those who wait and we are confident it will be worth the extra time it is taking,we believe in doing everything to the max and wont be satisfied until the album is 100% as good as it can be,it's got to be all or nothing...with everything! We will of course let you know when it is done!Til then we carry on playing,making new friends and spreading the word!

Influences: As a band we are influenced by Two Tone ska,reggae,punk anything played with passion and with a strong message!On the other hand we like some prog rock the likes of Pink Floyd and Rush and more recently Muse.Also we have top respect for our(slightly) elder brothers The Chillis!On the other hand we love devotional and spiritual music from all over the world esp the east as Marco is a bubble!These influences lead to our varied mixture of music which is hard to categorize and makes A&R folk cry!But last but not least our fave band at the mo is System of a Down,what a band!what mental music!with an in your face message! Finally one of our biggest influences is the over 1000 gigs we have played over 9 years playing covers of our fave bands from the 60's to NOW!



Sounds Like: Nothing else of course!Have you ever heard a band who play prog rock tinged with funk and played with Punk attitude!?Punk/ska rockers who after 20 years of gigging can actually play,quite well!!
