Band History

Mark & Lloyd (brothers) wanted to start a band, so they asked Selfish Dan I & Clint to join (both left before 2002), and then asked Stace to join in Oct 2000, just in time for first gig in November.

Next came Selfish Dan II replacing Clint on guitar, followed by Sam, who replaced Selfish Dan I on bass. Along with Taz that line up recorded two albums (one yet to be released), and now Daz has joined for the bands more recent live performances.

The Future

Rumours of a second album persist, but in the mean time the band play a few times every year.

Their Favourite Gigs

Some shows that stand out to Stace are:

1. The Jersey show that had the mixing desk on the stage.

2. Pembroke, where we got rained off.

3. Acoustic gigs in the Golden Lion and C&B were a bit different.

4. Vale Earth Fair freestage, 2001 (massive crowd).

5. Dan's last gig, Pleinmont 2006.

6. Various drunken ones too.
