....................................................Garry; I have always loved music. Coming from a family of musicians it was unavoidable I was always surrounded by music so I do have very varied taste although I do tend to lean on the darker side. The band I like the most is Led Zeppelin. The guy with a guitar has to be Nick Harper. The four string thumper Gordon Rowley of Strife, Skin basher John Bonham. I listen to Queens of the Stone age, Kasabian, Fratellis, John Lee Hooker, Alice Cooper, Juicy Luicy, Carl Orff, Bjork, James Brown, Aretha Franklyn, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Johnny Cash, Carl Orf, Howlin Wolf, Marc Bolan and T.Rex and many more. Locally I love Cream Tangerine they have a great sound along with Part of the Queue. Stuntface give a great performance and Mooi made me go gulp this rooms smokie......................................................

.................Nick (Cobee); Many Many different musical interests, Early Days included, Sabbath, Bonzo Dog, Slade, and... (Forgive me boys) 10cc! My reasons for liking them was the sheer diversity of musical styles they produced, but still retained integrity. later 70s, As Punk really bit into the fabric of society, I loved just about all of it. Sheer power and Charisma, Pistols, clash, damned, but then I saw three performances which have never left me. The first was the a Clash gig during which Joe tripped backwards smacked his head on a speaker and was out of it for 20 seconds, as soon as he came round he continued to sing and wobbled his way round bleeding and screaming for the rest of the set. That was a show! Then John Otway in Erics, the way he engaged the audience was real showmanship (he also broke his ankle during that gig leaping into an audience which in a split second parted in the middle). Then I saw the Tubes in Manchester. Music Average, But I Loved the way they used punk as a vehicle for a wild caberet type show. 80's; liked some novelty electronic songs in the 80's but not to excess. quite liked ZZ top, again more showmanship and great videos than tremendous music. 90's: Some great new breeds; Apollo 440, Death in Vegas. Yello. will always love them. (listen to pocket universe on a good stereo, dont talk over the top of it and you'll see). Divine comedy deserve a mention. Oasis don't. I Like many of our local bands Asbos,A2M, POQ and watch out for the young Project Romeo they must get somewhere on Charisma alone!......................................................

Sounds Like: It is difficult to say who we sound like, we have our own sound. Come and see us live you tell us who you think we sound like. We vary from the Damed, Dwight Yokam, Led Zeppelin, Bonzo dog band and Bob Marley and any one else you like us to sound alike.
P.S. We do tend to shout!
