Band Members



Vox - Olly 'Slow Draw' McGraw

Harsh sentancing and a lack of 'stuff to do' saw Olly become deported at age 17. Travelling accross the western plains (otherwise known as Somerset Levels), he began rustling cattle and holding up stage coaches, without ever learning to shoot properly. Olly likes coffee... eugh.



Guitar - Richie the Kid

When leading his horse to water, Richie discovered he couldn't make it drink, upon testing the water himself he realised he had found the fountain of youth ...it's not all it's cracked up to be. Richie likes his tea milky, without sugar, and in great abundance.



Drums - Wild Will of the East

Will was born into a family of card hustlers, sneaking his way accross the border in his early years to pray upon the rich oil tycoons. Despite many claims otherwise, Will prefers his tea without sugar, with a dash of milk



Bass - Tony 'Pops' Baloney

After frequent raids by bandits on his home town as a nipper, Tony joined those migrating south, hanging up his weapon for many years before he was finally persueded to get back in the saddle.

   About Porchlight (RIP)


'Cardiff based four-piece band Porchlight are setting new standards in the world of indie-rock. Forget the generic pap in the charts; these lads have, through a mutual love of cult bands like Pavement and Seafood spawned a new breed of ear massaging, soul caressing tunes. Up tempo, catchy and foot tappingly irresistible, this band will have a smile on your face and your hands in the air before you can say impress me, (conveniently the name of their forthcoming single). With vocal harmonies as soft and smooth as a babys you know what, solid bass lines and an abundance of glittering guitar hooks, Porchlight will infiltrate your soul and fill it with a bright yellow warmth. Go on, be impressed.' (Rachel England)

Sadly, after a year of much gigging, Porchlight have parted. There were many fun moments and some hard moments, but it was a brilliant experience. We enjoyed playing gigs and making our CD. We thank all of you who came to see us play and supported us. All of the members have moved on to pursue other musical paths and once things are properly up and running we shall let you know. Hopefully see all your smiling faces in a crowed soon.

Will

Porchlight what we're doing now: Tony has moved on to join the indy rock band sleepgoodfeelgood. go check 'em out, they good. www.myspace.com/sleepgoodfeelgood Olly is continuing his Swedish Lullabies solo project, and doing very well. Richie is still writing bundles of songs and becoming more 'tech' on his six-string. He is also doing his masters course. check out his masterful musiking on the drums www.myspace.com/stokescreen Will is getting better at playing his drum type instrument and trying to do his third year projects at uni. you can hear some old songs of his if you want www.myspace.com/andnoise ..

henderson asked me Why do they tell you its not about size.You and i know that is pure bull,I had an experience like this my self.Im going to tell you something that i was asked not to leak out but my so called friend hasent called me for sometime now since he's been busy.Ok he went from having a small yang to a monster in no time at all.he has put on three and a half inches in a short time ,an get this it's still getting bigger.He has been secretly taking these tabs from JNONG.COM copy and paste the address into your browser.I found out when I was at his flat, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the music shop, so while he was in the can, I went in his room, looked under his bed and found a bag with tabs in it, there was like eight full packs and four empty ones, all ordered from JNONG.COM I thought it was funny at first but then when he came out and saw me looking at them, he lost it and told me to never let his little secret out,especially chicks that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the honeys in the zone, when just a while back he was lost when it came to females.I diden't believe him until he layed it all on the table, I did see his stick and yes, it is huge,really huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering eight packs from the website at JNONG.COM for yours trully.. he does not have a web page, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back,Im living proof that they do work on any guy, see for your self.JNONG.COM

place women don't tell the truth about what they think.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that nickolaus has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow jells from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.LTRACE.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with jell bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from LTRACE.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his package and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at LTRACE.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.LTRACE.COM

crib Females are good at keeping things to themselves,an the one thing they dont't let out is that if your package is not big it doesen't make a difference to them it's how you use it.You and i both know thats pure hogwash,my buddy germayne that lives in palm beach where the sun and the women are hot.He told me about this stuff he got from germayne.GUDDAY.COM its these little white things you take and in a short time it aint so short no more if y
