Biography

Real Bacon, is the only good thing to come from the sewers of Westside Brisbane in 2003, and has been bursting eardrums ever since. The Real Bacon Saga started when metal gurus Nick and Harry decided they had had enough of their Doc Martens, and traded them in for real shoes. They recruited two unlikely suspects, though they have proved to be everything the band inspires to be. They bought with them only a sense of humour. With their "abilities" combined, they became captain planet. (I mean real bacon).

We have yet to make a Cd of quality standard...actually, come to think of it, we have yet to make one song of quality standard. That is not to say that we won't, just don't hold your breath. We believe our music is ripped from other proper bands such as the Lighthouse family and Boyz to Men.

Our live shows revolve around bad songs, good jokes and a Whole lot of posing.

The Saga continues. Bye, Steve and Benno.
