Band Profiles

Dave - Lead guitars Besides being one of the best guitarists on the circuit, Dave has the ability to mimic virtually any guitarist’s sound. Dave uses Marshall amps and speakers, and more foot pedals than we’ve space to name. His guitars are all hand-made...by Dave himself! He’s also one of very few guitarists who does a colour-check as well as sound-check before a gig (look out for the new iridescent spray jobs on his guitars). Dave builds all types of guitars to order, and offers a full range of repair services; including neck straightening, refrets, resprays, and customised pickup replacement/rewinds. If you need a professional job.....Contact Dave on: NSW Guitar Services

Ratty - Vocals and Bass What can you say? The Man! Has a fantastic voice, and couples this with a fluid, natural and accurate bass - the Roger Glover of the band. Don't ask him how he is though.......you might get an answer:-). Roy uses a Marshall VBA amp, Fender Precision & NSWGuitars basses, and a Shure SM58 mic.

Tony - Drums Little is known about Tony, except that he puts himself around a bit (ooh err missus). Formerly with Soma, and latterly the Harry Coffey Band, Tony is a true rock drummer in every sense. Currently a moist young man due to the acquisition of a rather nice Mapex kit. More details soon...

Chris - Keyboards, Guitars and Vocals Musical genius. Multi-talented. Just one fault.....he's too modest ;-). Uses NSWGuitars, Korg & Roland keyboards, Boss pedals, Marshall and Peavey amps.

Steve - Sound and Lighting Has an impressive array of knobs and sliders at his disposal - all of which do a great deal. Observant visitors will notice zat zere is a lot of ze German equipment ins hier. But, if anyvons ist complainings, you vill be shot! However, Steve uses a discreet number of pints to lubricate his fingers, plus (take a deep breath...)
