Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
From the ashes of the Teutonics, the Talented Few, Naked Igwanaz & Laughter On Mars with the advent of home recording we rose, phoenix like, to bother the neighbours.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not for a while.
Your musical influences
Terry - blues, jazz, Tom Waites, Ben Hur & Apocalypse Now.
Ray - 60's metal, pub rock, punk, power pop, noisenics, E.C., TLOTRings & Z grade movies.
Roland - chips & punches
What equipment do you use?
Whatever we can get our hands on - garage sales & online auctions. Terry has a nice sax & flute ray has, essentially, no name gear.
Anything else?
Age shall weary us & the years condemn but that's what rockin' chairs are for.
