ABOUT

We are Bass / keys, guitar, vocals and guitar, three of us

We've got a solid sound. With a classic rock / avante garde kind of flavour, influences from everywhere, mostly older stuff

I play an '85 Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall stack. Singer also uses a Marshall stack and an old Japanese Washburn. We have a massive old HH PA and a modern desk, so we can play gigs / shows / parties absolutely anywhere

We'v recently been joined by a very talented bass player who also plays keys, however our drummer has recently departed

We have influences from all over so we're not exactly retro rockers and not averse to stirring different styles into the mix and adjusting things

We have writing skills and ideas but welcome more! Teamwork, collaboration and everyone getting to express themselves is paramount

We have a few covers under our belt

We don't care about age. Attitude and aptitude are far more important

We're looking to gig regularly and get that stuff on YouTube - we have someone lined up to do live recording

We are experienced in live work - We are not a wedding band or tribute act. We are mainly focused on originals, but with covers thrown in to ensure we get gigs and can use them to hype audiences, for encores and so forth. We're experienced so know the drill
