Rough Auntie. Rock with some acoustic guitars and stuff you play after a drink or three, it's YOUR very own Auntie and she is Rough! Enjoy.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed in 1998 (though gigged in another World in the 1970's), Rough Auntie was given birth by the musical splutterings of the 1970's and 1980's through the ears of Nick Kidd & Adrian Lucas. The first two (unpublished) albums, "As West as it Gets" and "Eight Miles Out" were mostly recorded improvised ideas, loosely crafted into songs. The third album "Perfect Dilemma" was completed in 2001 and draws some of those ideas together into a more structured form. Rough Auntie.
