The purveyor of rare herbs and prescribed chemicals is back…..

Marinelli a.k.a ‘The Boffin’ – Vocals/Guitars

Influences?

Most influential band to me is Morcheeba,  when I purchased "Who can you trust" it gave me a new direction especially the instrumental tracks. I also have great respect for INXS and Michael Hutchence, he was a good songwriter.

When and how did you become involved in music?

I was 16 when I got a bass guitar, I was into Motley Crue but I soon realized that as a rule bass players are never as popular as singers, so I took up singing.

Niki – Bass

Influences?

Art college/ student life; Marinelli and Kej; Glastonbury; MTV.

When and how did you become involved in music?

It started as a band groupie. I soon realised there were a lot of dull, talentless bass players.  I thought I could be a bit more interesting and inventive and joined a Britpop band who needed a female to complete their image.

Kej – Guitar

Influences?

There’s so many great albums and singles, however watching bands perform live gives you a different perspective on music. I’ve always had an eternal passion for Hendrix but now I groove to Morcheeba, fun lovin, anything mellow.

When and how did you become involved in music?

My dad sings Country songs, he plays guitar usually with the same three chords! I played drums for a while but got pissed off lugging it around; the guitar was easier to transport. I’m really into sampling and generally being creative.
