Description:

not sure yet, definitely not rap, this will make sense later...

the band consists mainly of me and two friends, all of us have played in different local bands throughout our teenage years but have never really worked together in any musical endeavor. we have been trying to start a band for a while but we haven't completed any songs, mainly concentrating on covers as a way to have a bit of craic as well as improve our performance, especially our vocal harmonies which we intend to be a large part of our music.

chris was formally a bassist and played for no ghost (which has now almost disbanded due rising popularity of beemicksee's solo rap career) but one day sprouted an ego and decided he could be the next john squire. he is known as the riff generator and is currently striving to improve his vocal inadequancies..

denver also played guitar for no ghost but due to chris' quest has now been demoted to bass. he does not suffer from vocal inadequacies.

other people who will add to this possibly premature musical experiment are my house mates lochan and jeff but not mick.

lochan has for several years recorded under the name "minus the hat", it's like crazy acid folk with distortion. although myself and lochan both have folk influences they are very different.

jeff is probably mad, has no musical talent what so ever but he free styles like a crazy fucker when he is drunk or high. he likes to do a lot of pictures and poetry, this will no doubt inspire or appear in these sessions.

mick is probably in hospital, all we know is that his parent's took him and everything that belonged to him and then some stuff that was ours including a capo which has made practicing certain songs slightly difficult. they even took food, food that was not his!!! ruthless bastards!

influences

  • chris - the beatles, hot girls; ginger, black or asian preferably. cannabis, the shins, jim noir, the stones roses, ben kweller, blur, the clash, conor mccann, eels, jon brion, the kinks, kula shaker, the ra. etc
  • lochan - aerofoil
  • jeff - kandinski
  • mick - alcohol, caffine, nicotine, special k, l.s.d, pills (all varities) coke and rehabilation. he's also a fan of spanish guitar and sombreos

Group Members: (s)mackers, chris, denver/denvoid, lochan, jeff, not mick and possibly other people, hopefully some females :D
