    Artist History
    Three spotty sixth formers discovered sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, and learned to play noisy instruments. Terrified 200 parents with wall of noise feedback in an after school talent show and never looked back.Did the rounds on the Cardiff scene when the Manics were merely miffed, the Sterephonics were Crumblowers, Super Furry Animals were eggs and Catatonia were catatonic. High point came when we almost supported Spiritualised, but were ousted out by some underhand tactics from another local band. Arrguably the best band from the embryonic Wales scene to disappear into obscurity unlike their more famous peers.On splitting in 1992 Matthew Scott and Lee Chick went on to form an early version of band Jack (albums available from too pure records), Simon Weston went to Rock School, Emma went to supervisor and David Lloyd disappeared for 8 years before forming Meltwater to satisfy his musical longings.
    Group Members
    David Lloyd Vocals, Matthew Scott Guitar, Lee Chick Bass, Simon Weston Drums, and either Chris Nurse or Emma Priddle on Rhytmn guitar.
    Instruments
    guitars, bass, drums, 10 watt practice amps and a dodgy old Casio keyboard

    Press Reviews
    Local Dreamy Spaceheads. The Velevet Underground meet the Spacemen 3 whilst getting pissed with Iggy Pop. Cardiff's Indie Musical Youth know less chords than the Ramones.
