the story so far . . . . . . . .  
Sep, Dave and Mick have been the throbbing gristle or one could say nucleus of the band for the last 3 years, with Sep being the only survivor and founding member of the original line-up left and a person who thinks "Jack Daniels" is a word in the English dictionary.

Sep, Dave and Paul had previously worked together on the highways and by-ways of clubland in bands "Six Pack" and "Eden".   This was after Dave returned from London where he had lived and worked in music for many a happy year, making a racket and causing a general decline in the bird population around Trafalgar Square. (well you've go to eat!).

Sep, Paul and Mick were founding members of North East band "Sleeper" and hadn't worked together for over 25 years.   Mick joined Dave and Sep after a spell in retirement on the "Costa Del Crawcrook" and a life of normality, conformity and chance encounters with ladies clothing (his wife had a fashionwear shop!!).

Mick had occupied the mike stand for Club Band "Speed Limit" and moved onto North East band "Renegade" writing and recording original material and appearing on various radio and television programmes, notably TX45 Featured on Channel 4 (later on in the evening after The Tube had been screened).

Then came Eric, never mind the second coming this was The Fourth!! or Fifth ?!! Eric has worked continuously in the North East Circus with Annie Orwin Band, "Diesel Therapy" and "Armageddon" to name a few and on a wider plain with "Jack the Lad" in the 70's and PJ Proby, Dave Berry and Scott Walker in the 60's.

Paul the final link in the chain or was it nail in the coffin! returned from the misty moorlands of Tow Law and former occupation of Ghost Hunter to link up with Mick, Sep and Dave having been in bands with all three previously, and relished the chance of finding a bull to take by the horns once again!!!
