The Ping Pong Banana Show

About Me

Dave met Macky at a Bros convention both wearing identical Bros jeans and white t shirts. They realized it was their destiny to carry on where Luke and Matt Goss had faltered. Moag and The Lizard are twins seperated at birth, one raised in abject poverty the other in total poverty. They found each other at the North Lanarkshire Regional table tennis championships where they came face to face for the first time in the final. After bursting the last ping pong ball, they continued playing on with various types of fruit they aquired from the by now frenzied crowd. In that crowd were Dave and Macky who about to share a banana decided to give the young athletes their fruit so they could finish their set. Later in the team bath they decided to become The Ping Pong Banana Show and conquer the world!

Sounds Like: I don't know about you but we hate it when bands say we sound like all these amazing artists and then you listen to there music or go and see them live and they just sound shite! So, to avoid that we would like to recommend that you come down and see us live and decide who we sound like for yourself. And for those of you who live far, far away we apologise that you won't get Ping Pong loving for a while but hopefully we'll be round your way soon!
