your distant cousin

About Me

we formed in the attic of a lodge in the middle of nowhere after many days of crazy fishing/table tennis.... we played a few gigs around the town spreading our message of good tidings and love..... we met this strange boy called john who could only see through the lens of a camera and he suggested we talked to a man.... then this really cool guy paul started putting us down onto his crazy cool ass studio stuff and you are only hearing the false start....... so we will call you back when the race is ready to go! damn i love cheese! moo......... then this strange doctor called house who lived in a marsh started talking, but it wasn't regular talk, it was the gripping, persuasive, 'shut up now' kind of talk and she tricked this man called niall iain........ he was a radio-ing kind of guy and he likes barbeques so with dougies expert knowledge of charcoal and michaels extremely flammable gas supply it seemed only fair that we should team up!THE BAND AT SOUNDS IN THE GROUNDS (taken by Monty on his mobile phone :D )
