About Me


I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!It all started with the drunken comment "We shdg stsyty a fand", we decided later that it roughly translated into we Should start a band. After much arguing about who we could get to sing ( I (Meilir) was cleared of that post as soon as he opened his mouth, which can only be a good thing) we decided on Medwyn. God knows why! He had no experience and was one of the shyest people we knew, but the Kid came good, and we got started. To begin with grunge and three chord punk was all we knew. Gaz was the only one with any real musical experience, Shaun's guitar experience was limited and Meilir didn't quite know what a bass was. But then, out of the gloom came two legendary heroes of music, Slap Bass and Jimi Hendrix. Under the careful tuition of many hours of funk, metal and classic rock Mei and Shaun's musical talents developed together and joined Gaz's already solid drumming. To begin with Medwyn was a rabbit caught in the headlights of a truck full of music and some empty beer cans, but after some embarrassing Maroon 5 while the rest of us faced the wall, we got the voice and the moves out of him. We've played a few gigs around North Wales, most of them in quiet, dingy and ultimately crappy venues. Some stand out for being amazing gigs some stand out because it felt like having our collective foreskins stapled into a speeding lorry. But we're here and we keep going. Come and have a listen.

First ever semi-acoustic gig= Tragically Chaotic.
