Band History

Spud, Harry and Dan have had various funk and ska projects over the last couple of years.

Joe met spud at an open mic night in august 2006, and Spud asked him if he wanted to jam with the other guys.

They had a jam mid august and they say it all gelled fantastically and they knew right then and there that they were a band.

They booked a gig at the KG5 and the Golden Lion (on the same night) and loved every bit of it and the bookings just flowed from there.

Joe and Dan.

They've written a couple of original songs so far, and are hoping to write many more.

The Future

Dan, Harry and Spud are going to uni in September and Joe will be staying in Guernsey for another year, and they hope to reform when they're all back together after that, most likely in England

But for now, They're just writing originals, gigging lots and possibly planning to record something before the end of August.

Their Favourite Gig

Joe said: "We had a blast at new years at the Golden Lion, but our gigs there have generally been awesome.

"Even though the stage is small, we love it, we're all so close that communication is easy and for a highly improvisational band, that is key."
