The ultra-tepid Town Parkers enjoy nothing more than getting back into that rock-funky disco thingy. We've started off with a couple of mellow Pop rock tracks, a pure Brit Pop song (Superstar) & then we tried a bit of soft-Ska with "Reason". Band members are: Dave 'FSM' Scott is on guitar/vox/production. Dave's the clever one, and the talanted one, and the charming one (git). Richard's on Drums. Richard's best trick is to kick off a 4 min track and then, thanks to Dave's dodgy Drum Stool, slowly sink towards his pedals. We've worked out that he travels about 5cm per minute. Sticky's on Rhythm. The name Sticky (or Sticks) comes from his amazing Guitar 'Licks' & has nothing at all to do with this nocturnal activities whilst alone in bed. Wardy, that's me, (on Vocals, Guitar) completes the band in its current format. We all have a say on how the musics put together - particualarly our newer stuff - & to top it all off, we sound great; which is just as well, cos we certainly don't look it.
Why this name?
We got ourselves tangled up in self doubt & ended up with something what we thought was pretty safe & represented the sort of music genre we were working with at the time. It was either that, or "Akin Palmer's Handy Hanky Band"
Do you play live?
We've all played live with other bands, but never together. It's on our list of things to do, straight after "write list".
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's nothing to what mp4 is going to do.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Major label's are for losers, Man. Stay true to you. If we weren't pants, then we'd consider being serious - until that time, a record contract is about as likely as finding an unlicked Mars Bar wrapper at a 'Weight Watchers Group Meeting'.
Band History:
Our fans from Minsk (BellaRussia) know us as "The Al' Bums". We looked for a musician called Al' for about 3 years to make our Band name more ironic, without success.
Your influences?
"Crout Crouch"; "Disco in the Bathroom, yah" &
"Pushed & Flushed. Forget it, it's gone"
Favorite spot?
Wherever Kylie Minogue last sat. I've got contacts in the industry - I won't be here for long.
Anything else...?
Wey hey, crazies! Relax in a nice warm tub - you know: dressing-gowns & chocolate - watch a Hugh Grant movie. Hmmm. Not me, no. Not me. Beer 'n' Birds.
