Here's a section to give you a little insight into the lives of the band -

Champagne

Larne is the ultimate front man who doesn't give a toss about anything. When he's not with the band he works for an internationally renowned business (Alberto-Culver, of the hair-care products). Larne works on a rotational shift pattern which prevents us from practising every other week - get a proper job man!! His favourite pastime is drinking, at which he excels. Most people in Swansea know him and if you've ever seen a naked bloke giving a table one, you probably know him too! On a serious note, Larne has been likened to Joe Cocker in his singing style and he sounds a bit like Weller when he wants to. His influences include Steve Marriot, Paul Weller and Joe Cocker.

Griff

A very quiet person until he's on stage, then he's pretty boisterous. Loves fighting when he's out on the town, in fact if the band ever folds, he wants to become a street fighter. When he's not with the band Griff spends most of his time watching the telly and playing grand theft auto. He sometimes goes to work if he can be arsed, but that's quite rare. On a serious note, Griff's influences are Steve Craddock, Jimi Hendrix and Roger Whittaker in that order . Griff is currently studying at  Swansea University for a degree in Graphic Design (seriously)

SiMoD

SiMoD is obsessed with The Who, although he doesn't actually own one album by them (he has got a couple he taped off Griff & Larne though!). By day Simon is a courier for a large pharmaceutical company, but when he grows up he wants to work for NASA. He is already half way there, being an absolute Space Cadet. One final thing worth a mention - he's full of shit! In a slightly more serious vein, SiMoD's influences are John Entwistle, Sir Paul McCartney and the bass player from Right Said Fred. Genuinely, Simon is currently studying for a degree in theatre and performing arts at Swansea Uni (Tart!). He also sings with the Morriston Orpheus Choir (solos too mind!), who are a world renowned choir that have sung in some of the worlds most prestigious venues such as the Sydney Opera House and New York's Carnegie Hall.

Jonus

In the words of SiMoD, 'Jon is a grumpy dry bastard!' which is fair comment. When not playing with the band he's off trying to save the planet. When he grows up, he wants to be able to play the drums! Jonus loves his hobbies of ornithology and seal clubbing, but his greatest passion of all is the work he does in the fur trade hunting and selling the finest skins and furs of the most endangered species. Jonus's main influences are Animal from The Muppets and Strongbow (Brewed in the UK by Bulmers Ltd.). On a serious note Jon is a qualified Geologist (rocks and stuff) (A drummer with a BSc after his name) and currently works for the Environment Agency in Swansea - actually trying to save the planet!
