Pete Dale and the Beta Males

About Me

Pete Dale was the co-owner/organiser/shitworker (with Rachel K.) of Slampt records. He played in Milky Wimpshake from 1993 until, well, in theory the band is still going although damaged by the recent departure of longterm drummer Grant Jones. He was also guitarist and part-vocalist in Red Monkey 1996-2005 (with the aforementioned Rachel K.) and is currently doing shouty punk-phunk-wonk-wonk music with Chronicity. Pete Dale and the Beta Males, therefore, a very casual affair. There is an album out on Fortuna Pop called "BETRAYED BY FOLK", nevertheless, from which the songs here are ripped.
