About Me


Make your own Banner Here!
We used to be in punk/experimental band Mark Perry's The Good Missionaries (Tom) The Magic Dragon (All of us), The Cuban Boys/Beatbox Saboteurs (Blu), and have worked with Lianne Carroll (London Electricty, Ronnie Scott's etc etc), Mick Hutchinson (Clark Hutchinson), The Fall (no introduction needed) and countless others. We now do songs, movie soundtracks, experimental headcase stuff and multimedia projects. We live on the South Coast, smoke and would have pets if they wanted to live with us.
