About Me


After more lineup changes than even the UK Subs (and with the same number of original members remaining), Brad Frugal has decided to try to keep the classic lineup of the band together where possible:
Boris Fecker (2006-present, on and off): Guitar
Snelgers O'Guinness (2006-present, most of the time): Dancing and playing-up
Pob Cavity (2007-present, more comebacks than Frank Sinatra): Guitar
Flimsy (2008-present, The King Blues could get rid of him, we couldn't): Bass
Geoff Leopard (2008-present, when he's not saving lives): Drums
Past Members (some sadly missed, some not so):
Sam Jones, Camp David, Cardboard P. Bedspread, Signor Estos, Vinyl Spatz, Arnie the Laughing Rapist, Lister the Lambrini Monkey, Rob Chester, Joe Hypnol.
There won't be quite as many gigs as before, but when we can get together, expect chaos to reign.
Will 2010 be the year we finally get round to recording our debut album "You Can't Polish A Turd"? Watch this space.
New songs coming soon, including "Born To Play Up", "15 Minutes", and "Morbidly Obese". Come and see us before we die prematurely. It's only a matter of time.
The band are currently taking bookings for gigs and festivals - we will play ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE, ANYTIME! Please message us if you know of anyone brave enough to host us.
