The Woolly Bandits, born from the resurrection of Sky Sunlight Saxon and The Seeds.Rik Collins (or Crusader as dubbed by Saxon), is the Lead screamer and Bassist for the Woolly Bandits. The story begins when Rik re-connected with Sky who was living in virtual exile in Mt. Shasta California to perform the Seeds music again starting in 2002. After three European tours and two US. tours the new Seeds recorded the Red Planet album in 2004. It was during those sessions along with Seeds band members at that time, drummer, keyboardist Dave Klein (Bomboras, Invisible Men, Finks, Ghastly Ones) guitarist Mark Bellgraph (The Beeters) and Bassist Rik Collins (Venusians, Tongue, Decry, Caustic Resin) decided to kick out an album of their own.The first album out on Dionysus Records "Say Hello To My Little Friend" is a flaming nose dive into the world of Garage, Punk, surf and Psychedelic Rock. With Garage rock pounders like, "Dont Want You Around", "Hard To Forget You", "Last Night", "Let Me Know", "Without You", and "What Are You All about". and new songs, "Bomp Shu Bomp", "In The Morning", and "Mollys Shell" Rik also pays homage to Sky and The Seeds with a blistering version of "Pushin' Too Hard" and the bandits first album was spit out. Rik along with new Woolly Bandit and Wife Christa DeErynn Collins returned back from the 2005 Seeds European tour a little crispy critters but ready to keep the Fuzzadelic train rollin'.... After playin with the Bandits and Seeds on the last European tour DeErynn now plays organ, harmonica, percussion as well as sharing the lead vocals with husband Rik, and now The Woolly Bandits will never be same, Lord help us! Oh yeah, while in London they recorded a live album at The Garage, slated to come out this year. the Woolly's are gearing up to play some dates in The U.S. and a full blown European tour starting in May 2008. Former Seed and Woolly Bandit, Mark Bellgraph has re-joined the band and is slinging GEETAR again better then ever, and keeping the integritty of the core Woolly sound! And introducing the newest Bandit and long time friend, Tom Sanford! He recorded with the band in September 10th 2006 on four new woppers.
