We are a 4 piece wierd experiMENTAL bonkers pronky pungy wave rock outfit that hail from snellins (STHELENS). We formed in 1994 as Ghengis Grimes from the ashes of Kiss the Prezident and split up after our last gig at The Citadel in 2000. And now reformed with original drummer Nelson knocker James; Seddo (always and forever Dink who fella don't know what your on about Dink Dink) on guitars; and Penny on Bass who took over from Clarky ten years ago or so, and is still the new boy to moi! I,m Messer - Lyrics, dresses, faces, voice ....... eye brows. We are now working on new material and also revamping old tunes with different arrangements . The gigs we have played this year have been a great success bonkers infact thanks to The Quims ,Liquidscreamer,The Kiss off,and Mr So and So for there part in some "Bonkers" nights.
