How can two people, one who's played the guitar for two months, the other, who can sing "only specific songs" start a rock band, by asking their friends to join, all of which, cant play their instruments? (We're talking about 15 year old school kids here!)

Well, a Peter and an Austin brought in a Chris, an Andrew, a Kathryn, another Chris, a Richard, a Paul, an Anna, and various others...A tight squeeze trying to have our first rehearsal in Peters attic! None the less, new and original members came and went and now only two of the original remain! even more shocking than that, is that its Peter and myself, one of the Chris's! not Austin! this is because, people suddenly realized he couldn't sing...

So with raging arguments and all round fall outs, and 9 months without a drummer, and Rebecca running to the bands rescue, the band has now kicked off, with one gig supporting 'Black Dog' in an unknown bar behind the local Tesco's, and competing in the schools 'battle of the bands' (which featured some glorious crap from all over the province), the band has enjoyed the attention, and of course will continue to look for gigs and are also underway in writing their own material.
