RIKKI FLAG - VOCALS - By far the most attractive & youthful looking member of the band.A great frontman that oozes Punk Rock appeal.Who also got to write these profiles.
KEV MOORE - GUITAR - Since joining over 10 years ago,Kev added a new dimension to the band with his Guitar prowess bringin his tuneful Punk songs along with him (and his twiddly bits),between gigs you will find him eating if not sleeping
MICKEY TRENTER - GUITAR - Has been a mate of ours for years & recently joined the FLAG ranks.Also plays in Lovejunk & was a great addition to the line up which filled the sound out greatly.Likes a beer or 2 our Mickey
JOHN 'FANNY' ADAMS - BASS - Short, Ginger & old, Loves himself more than me & thinks he's a hit with the ladies.Good Bass player when he remembers to play & not show off.Fanny does our website & puts lots of pics of himself on it - nice
MALCUM POWDER - DRUMS - Malc is the youngster of the band & has been consistent in the line up for nearly 15 years - Boy to man.A great powerful drummer when on the same planet as us
We formed back in 1990 with a bunch of covers & a lot of Cider,by the time we'd played our first few gigs we got to record a couple of tracks for a comp lp "Punks not Dread".The next few years saw the usual line up changes,a few demo tapes & a split ep with all girl band PMT.
We had reached the settled line up of today(see band members) by 1996,when we put out a split ep with SPECIAL DUTIES & did our first dates outside of the UK in France & Belgium.
Our debut album "A short cut to a better world" & several more ep's followed & small tours of Europe became a regular thing that we continue to do.
Over the years we've played with loads of great bands old & new in anything from sweaty pub backrooms to big festival stages,met stacks of lovely people & had a whale of a time along the way.
We recently released the album "Stop the World" on Captain Oi! records in the uk & are hoping it will see a U.S. release soon. FLY THE FLAG !!!
LAST GANG IN TOWN STRUMMERVILLE BENEFIT & LAST GANG’S 6th BIRTHDAY GIG
THE YALLA YALLAS are a fantastic punk rock ‘n’ roll band from Leeds. Their name was chosen as a rallying call to unify. “So long liberty, lets forget you didn’t show. Not in my time” a sentiment expressed on an early Joe Strummer recording & one which struck a chord with the band and their audience. Some members have appeared in The Dead Pets, 3milehigh & The Gushers & they now share a common goal to bring anthemic mayhem to wherever they play. http://www.myspace.com/theyallayallas
