MARK - 18 YEARS OF AGE WORKS FULL TIME AS A TERMINATOR!!!!!(SOMETHING TO DO WITH CABLES) HE PLAYS RYTHYM GUITAR WITH ABOUT 100 EFFECTS PEDALS AT HIS FEET, SO IT'S VERY LIKELY YOU'LL SEE HIM DOING THE TANGO AT A GIG OR SOMETHING TRYING TO TURN THEM ALL ON.

WELL, ARE WE SITTING COMFORTABLY? THEN I'LL BEGIN, CRAIG DIDN'T JOIN UNTIL NOVEMBER '97 FROM THEN ON A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN DONE WITH THE SONGS, SOME HAVE BEEN CHUCKED, SOME HAVE BEEN KEPT AND WORKED ON, BUT BEST OF ALL THEY HAVE BEEN NOTICED BY THE MUSIC PRESS, THE PUBLIC AND MOST RECORD COMPANIES. THEIR FIRST GIG WAS NOTHING TO JUMP ABOUT THOUGH. AT A LOCAL PUB CALLED 'LE PUB' THE WERE FIRST BROUGHT INTO THE MUSIC SCENE, SLOW TO START BUT ENDED IN STLYE, A LITTLE SHY WITH THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE, BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!!???!!! A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER ANOTHER GIG, THIS TIME OUT OF TOWN, IN NEWBRIDGE AT THE 'MEMO' CLUB. PLAYED ALONG SIDE SOME WANNABE JAZZ BAND, THEY PLAYED AN ABSOLUTE BLINDER OF A GIG, CRAIG NOT SO SHY THIS TIME FOUND HIS FEET, HAD A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH GUITAR TUNING TO START BUT PULLED IT OFF AMAZINGLY. THAT'S WHEN RECOGNITION STARTED. ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR MANAGER TURNS UP, HADN'T DONE NOTHING FOR US BEFORE NOW STARTS TO DO SOMETHING, A GIG IN THE LEGENDARY TJ'S IN NEWPORT, IN A BATTLE OF THE BANDS. ANOTHER STORMING GIG, RECOGNITION WITH RECORD COMPANIES, AN AMAZING REVIEW FROM THE LOCAL PRESS AND AFTER GIG DRINKS WITH THE HEADLINING BAND 'JAGUAR'. iF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BAND, WHAT THERE DOING?
