   About Pog
Pog was initially just myself playing on a battered acoustic guitar that I had bought from a car boot sale for £10. In September 2000 a curiously contrived petrol crisis led to me having to find a viable alternative to lugging the 7 piece monster that was Anal Beard (who I was singing with at the time) to Plymouth Punx Picnic. So I bundled into a car with The Blue Minkies and played a set of songs I'd written, extra cirricularly as it were, to a clubful of punks who enjoyed the nylon strung troubadourism much more than I expected them to.

CAFE MORNING AFTER & LONDON'S GRAND PARADE, April 2007

After a few months of picking up shows in various places (including being the token boy at a regular night that went by the name of Girlfrenzy, earning myself the title of 'honourary girl' in the process, unexectedly) I recorded and released a 6 track 7" EP called Faces At The Window. It got a Single of the Month award in Record Collector, which stunned me.

PENNYWATCHERS, April 2007

The volume of shows increased, and over the next few months I recorded some more songs, this time for a split CD called Tales From The Saturday Night Launderette with fellow Brightonian bedwetter We Am Janet. These songs were longer, slower and less uplifting. My friend Bela Emerson joined me for a while on cello, which was great.

About a year or so later my (then) girlfriend Annalise Vineer joined Pog on bass, somewhere between the next two albums. We played as a drum machine augmented duo for a while, touring with assorted friends and then dragging a guy called Deacon Brown in to play keyboard.

DATING LOVE, June 2005

Fascinatingly, Pog has gained approximately one member per year, and we slowly swelled to a 5 piece, featuring my sister Kerry on 2nd guitar and Wob on a small stand-up drumkit. This mammoth line-up lasted several months, then dropped back to a 4 piece after Annalise left and Kerry moved onto bass.

LACES, August 2006

Many many apologies to Pog and Pog-fans for not allowing enough time for you to play at Blakers Park on Saturday. all I can say is I'll make sure the organisation is better on another occasion. We did enjoy Wob and thanks for introducing us to L.Morgan - can't find her Myspace - can you point us in the right direction please.
