We have known each other for many years and have played together at various times. A chance meeting got us talking about the possibility of getting together to do some recording and it just started from there.
Why this name?
Gary came up with this one after hearing it on the news when the report said someone could not be named for legal reasons and we thought that sounds ok.
Do you play live?
We have no plans to go back to gigging.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It provides an outlet for independent artists and bands to get their material out to a worldwide audience whereas before they might never have had that chance.
Hopefully in the long term this will free people from the mindset of 'must get that big record deal' and equally as important encourage more listeners to listen to (and buy) the work of the independent artists.

Anything else...?
Unfortunately due to a long period of illness we have had to put everything on hold so nothing new has been happening.
Hopefully now the worst is past and we have started to think about our next project and have started writing again and hopefully we can get some new stuff recorded and uploaded :)
