Mitch has always had a close association with Belgium's finest export, Stella! Although he can never remember! Whenever he walks past ATS they instantly recognise him, who wouldn't, he's hard to miss! Without Mitch's leadership, I'm sure the band would never have made so many enemies. Like your embarrassing Uncle at a wedding he usually steals the show! (and the silverware)
Being only one person in a band is not much fun, even if you can already drink the same as a ten piece band! Fortunately help was on hand to assist Big Mitch with his quest for slenderness.
Big Mitch press-ganged the services of several players from his other band, The Riverbrew (available for Birthdays, Weddings but not Bah Mitzvahs!)
Beaker – Trumpet
Bones – Keyboards
Stretch – Bass Guitar
Kato – Drums
Captin Bongo – Percussion
Mossey Boy! – Saxophone
lightfoot – Original guitarist
FRUSTRATION
Rehearsals started well in January 2005 with no sign of foreboding. Second rehearsal into the bands existence as The Communicators and the 'Spinal Tap' syndrome kicked in. Chris 'lightfoot' was strumming away like a hummingbird on heat, unaware of the Burnham-on-Sea pond life sat wasted at the bar. It transpires that he knew one or two of them from a previous life. They threatened to permanently adjust his vocal range there and then if he continued to play with The Communicators. Obviously being able to sing falsetto was not high on Chris's wish list so he legged it leaving his gear and even his smokes in the rehearsal room. That was the last we saw of him.
Fortunately Big Mitch knew a top class guitar player who was happy to step into the running shoes of Chris 'lightfoot';
Sgt Stax – Guitar
TRANSFORMATION
The band worked hard to get a sound that was as tight as a ducks arse, the metamorphosis was only complete with the creation of the bands alter ego's and new identity.
MASTER******
The band worked particuarly hard on this aspect of the process, which is why it has taken them so long to get up and running!!!!!!!!!
ADULATION
The band laid down some musical forms in the studio and the scene was set (like an episode of Grange Hill) to play our first gig. The band has had some great feedback from audiences around the area and has taken many people back to their teenage years when the secondwave of SKA took the country by storm back in the 80's! The addition of new wave punk-ska in the bands repertoire, such as reel big fish, has also made the band popular with the young 'unsMyspace Layouts - Myspace Editor
