The Plan

Better than a polished turd!

About Me


The Plan was created in late 2004, but due to members leaving, new ones joining, and us as a whole not being too great we didn't really play any gigs.
It all began when (now ex-member) Dave and myself (hi I'm Keech ) had just finished another band, and we decided to start a new band that actually did stuff (fat lot of good that did). I was talking to Wayne online for a while, after meeting him... actually I can't remember where I met him but I did... anyway, Wayne could play guitar and was moving down to Canterbury, which is near Faversham. So we ended up getting him in.
The drummer was our next problem, but Luckily Dave knew this guy called John (another now ex-member), and we got him on-board too.
SO... we had a band. Four people who could play music.
But in about... July 2005, things went down hill. Dave and John both left for uni, and we were stuck! It was just Wayne and myself, and no music was happening.
But every cloud has a silver lining... I knew this guy who could play drums. Ben was his name, and he was in a good band, called ' Priapism ' (maybe you've heard of them?). I asked him REALLY nicely, and after a few drinks, he agreed. Wayne and I swapped bass and guitar, but things were still not complete... we were still missing something... and then it hit me... getting me old pal Tom in.
Tom, who I must say is the best guitarist ever (he can play every note on the guitar, I've seen it), was on a work year thing from uni, and was living back in Faversham. Soooo, I asked him if he'd be our second guitarist... to which he said yes!!! Yay, we had a band again.
At the moment we're up for playing gigs! So if you need a band, or heck if you just need some losers to prance about on stage, we're your men! And we won't ask for much... beer would be acceptable! Just give us a bell and we'll play!
