The RPM Challenge - Basil Slam

Basil Slam Profile Page

About

Description:

Incredible band from London who could take you in a fight even if you had a bicycle chain or a machete or a lance but probably not if you knew Tae Kwon Do or had animal assistance like a bear or an army of toads or were a pacifist which would be ok that's your choice man.

Basil Slam met the rpmchallenge last year in a warehouse and then did it again later in the year in a warehouse and it was even better that time and they beat their chests and said "WOO!" and did many cartwheels and had a nice dinner.

Other achievements include inventing a cocktail.

Group Members:

Axel, Andrew, Astrud, Beare, Dan, Gerv, James, Jo, Joe, Mat, Moh, Tom + others as appropriate. Handsome / hott people only.
