Tell us about
the band...
The
current line-up was formed in June 2002 when Kimi joined, although
the band had been in existence as a four-piece since March 2003.
Most of us have been in other local bands before.
Marie Belston sings lead vocals and plays percussion. (She's
also known as 'Bossy Bitch'!)
Andy Manson (one of the guitar building Manson brothers)
is on lead guitar, Kimi Snell has joined us to play rhythm
guitar, Simon Shakespeare (Tigger) is on drums and Chris
Legg plays bass guitar and mandolin.
How
would you describe your music in just three words?
Tongue and cheek.

And
what about the track you've chosen to demo, 'Tryst'?
Tryst
was produced by Phil Johnstone, former keyboard player with the
Robert Plant Band.
He's also produced several Plant and Travellers albums. Phil heard
the original version of the song and decided he wanted to give it
a new feel.

Johari
is an unusual name...?
Johari was the norse Goddess of mushroom eating!
She was also associated with the *Bacchanal
rite. Say no more!
|
*Bacchanal:
[adj] used of riotously drunken merrymaking; "a night of bacchanalian
revelry"; "carousing bands of drunken soldiers"; "orgiastic
festivity"

If you were throwing
a dinner party which three guests would you invite and why?
Oscar
Wilde for his witty satire, it's second to none.
George Orwell - what a visionary.
Jim Morrison - beauty personified (spiritual, physical, musical
and intellectual).
Tell
us about your most memorable gig...
The Harley Davidson Club's Annual Rally - Bristol, September 2002.
Torrential rain, lots of mud, soggy chips, soggy tents, lusty bikers
and "Dancing Queen Mania". Apparently they were expecting
a Glam-Rock cover band! Ahem!
The
future..?
...doesn't exist yet. (Marie)
...hopefully will always be there. (Simon)
...so bright we gotta wear shades. (Andy)
