First off, let me tell you a bit about the band.They come from Manchester, England. They are signed to leading Manchester Independent label Mantex Recording Company label, under the management of Andy James. They split their time between Manchester, and Texas, USA working with Mantex affiliates over there.
The band is unique in that all lyrics are written by the drummer, Andy, who is also dyslexic which makes his achievements as a published poet even more impressive. Music is written by both Andy and Steve with Nick adding a few oohs and aahs in various places. This page is in its beginning stages right now and more info, lyrics, and photographs of the band will be added shortly. They have recently been described in the press as a cross between the Stone Roses and the Beautiful South, but like to stay true to their Manchester roots, while mixing in various influences from rock, soul and rythm & blues.
UPDATED!!! But what are they upto now? The band line up has changed and the lads hope that this is the line up to finally break into the big-time. Andy has just completed his course at the School of Sound Recording in Manchester and is currently undertaking an advanced course. He also finds time to manage a young band who do R & B, hip-hop music, so a step in a new direction for Andy, maybe we'll see some collaborations in the near future. Miles is currently working with the BBC on some computer generated projects. This page has been running since September 3 1998 and was last updated on Sunday 8th June at 19.49pm BST..
