About Me

Our goals as an outfit, and as musicians (singularly) are to play our music, the only way, our way. The way we want. To grow old and bloated by sheer excess (old and bloated INXS). Nurture drug addictions as if they were our children. Father bastard children. Hang out with/be supported by artists that will only accept us because of our fame, hipness and celebrity status. Make far too much money, buy fast unruly hotrods and planes, crash them, throw them away and buy more. Live in homes that resemble castles. Become bloated shadows of our former selves, and hopefully become icons for a generation from a time and scene that will certainly be wasted, cast aside, dead and gone.
