stint with 'Master of Puppets' the Australian
Metallica Show which toured heavily playing
to Metallica starved punters (as is often the case
in Australia, with major acts hardly ever touring....)

decided to join 'Gossamer' a bizarre Alterna-rock
vehicle for vocalist Cherine.In 1998 Pete joined
Kaotic Lounge scoring a 'single only' deal with
Warner and having a top 30 single (Halo/The Maze).
.....KL's current ep 'Exile' was held out of the

punkers 'NFI' which features vocalist Mark Hayes of
seminal Aussie bands 'The Skunks' and 'Perdition'
current 'NFI' release 'V8' has been figuring in
the local charts for months, during which time
the band put new tracks down in the studio ready
for future release... |
