Long long ago, in a far off Galaxy,
there was a band called The Name (formally Gobblinz). They put Peterborough on the
musical map, moved the map around a bit, spilled a fizzy drink on it, folded it up and put it back in
the knapsack.
Now two former members of the Name have teamed up with drummer Fozzy, who
had been supplying the beats behind
Kissmet and now adds the riddum to The
Contrast
Here is a little bit about the band members.
Dave Colton
David is a local legend. A renowned Vocalist/bassist/guitarist, he has played with far too many bands to
list (Oh, ok then, The Destructors, The Name, The One Eyed Cats...er...think
thats it). A well regarded record producer and studio owner in the 80's. Dave also
enjoys 'deping' with any band that can buy him his weight in beer.
Favourite bands: The Who, Cream, Gentle Giant, The Beatles, Frank Zappa. He also claims to like hip-hop..er, yeah right 'homey'.
Ian Graham
Ian calls himself a 'Jack of all trades', though that is probably
wishful thinking on his part. An artist, guitarist, brilliant comedian,
and ex cricketing 'know all'
to his friends, his decision to come out of self enforced musical
exile shocked few. Ian is famous for being the loudest guitarist in Boro.
Don't argue, its a fact.
Favourite Guitarists:
Mick Ronson, Pete Townshend, Django Reinhardt, Zal Cleminson, Jimmy Page, Andy
Partridge.
Fozzy
The youngest member of the band is the most talented. Keeping a 'three
piece' together is an artform at which he excels. A band of dedicated 'disciples'
and drum geeks come to our gigs just to hear him play, and to try and
guess which of his kits he will be using! Fozzy is the loudest
drummer in Boro, that is also a fact.
Favourite Drummers:
Ringo Starr, Vinnie Colaiuta, Ian Paice, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Chad Smith.
