Band History:
Dun 2 Def, from Milton Keynes, formed in 1996 under the name '77' as a Punk covers band with members Ferret, Twig, Dave Gatis and Mark Vickers.
They changed the name to Dun 2 Def in 2001 and released the Bomb Squad E.P. and released the CD album 'Dun 2 Def' in 2004.
The band have played with many old skool bands such as: the Varukers, U.K Subs, Meteors, the Vibrators, T.V smith, the Wernt, G.B.H, Sic Boy Federation, the Duel, Intensive Care, Oi Poloi, Angelic Upstarts and Peter and the Test tube Babies.
In October 2004 the band changed its line up when Dave Gatis moved to Canada, bringing in new bass player Nick Golder and second vocalist Jon Ellams (also of R.S.I).
They played a few gigs before adding second guitarist Ash to the line up.
The band have played many gigs this year with this line up untill recently when bass player Nick Golder and drummer Mark Vickers were replaced with young upstart Ralph Bates on bass guitar and Tendons guitarist Floyd on drums.
