- and now we’ve got a brand new website!

We’ve got loads of shows coming up this year and are promising more videos and photos than ever!

Exciting times! So here’s a little rundown of what we’ve got for ya…

We love to have fun on and off stage – we’re lucky to have a couple of guys on board that do video production, so we’re aiming to upload vids …

Look at that Jacket! \m/

WE ALWAYS meet nice folk at our St Austell gigs.

In the handful of times we’ve played the Carlyon – otherwise known as The Sandy, depending on how old you are – we’ve always ended up having a good old natter with great guys and gals that love their live music and have fun while doing their bit to support live music.

Thanks to people like …

BODMIN, you dirty little bitch! Who knew you were such animals!

We’ve never played in the town before, let alone in the Shiners venue, so were a little surprised by what happened….(including being surprised by our own bass player stripping!)

Our first impression of the venue left us a little puzzled – we thought it was gonna be quite a squeeze in the bar – but then we realised there’s a whole extra …

“THERE are dancing women on the stage! Help! What do we do now?!!?”

That’s quite possibly the thought running through some of our minds as female forms appeared on stage at Bunters towards the end of the night.

It was a cracking night – which started in a rush for me as I’d spent the day in a hospital (fortunately not as a patient) and headed over at the last possible minute. Thankfully …

ALRIGHT, so Tony was a tiger and not a lion, so the title of this blog post doesn’t really work. But cut me some slack would ya!?!

Now, we’ve seen some incredible things on dancefloors in our time, but this show at the Red Lion really won some awards.

NOW, we like to come out all guns blazing. We wanna kick your ass from the first note.

But for various technology-related reasons, we felt maaaaaaybe we didn’t quite hit top gear as soon as we usually do.

Now that’s quite a thing for a band to admit to. But if you’ve seen us, you probably know we’re not the kinda band to pretend to be cool. We all have to pee between …

HAPPY New Year everyone!

Well we had a bloody great 2011. The addition of Angus of bass has certainly been a standout point, having joined the band in April.

And since then the fun level just keeps going up!

Not only is he a great bass player, but he’s singing, shaking his ass, making videos and even gone and got himself a column in the local paper, The West Briton every few weeks. [Okay, …
