NEIL “FRANK” COYLE - VOCALS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Neil was born into a large family of television repairmen. He found he could sing in a cup. He is faithful to the art of stilt walking and French pole dancing & can regularly be seen combining these traditions in his local retirement village. Recently suffering from whiplash caught on a golf course, claims his main influences are N-Sync and Nelly. A purveyor of debate and enjoyable irritation. Often smells of wet bread.
TOBIE “FRANK” WHARTON - BASS, B.VOCALS
Originally a badger of the honey variety- Tobie decided to have a sex change at the tender age of 13 as an opposable thumb helped him play the bass to a slightly higher standard. Never seen a beaver in his short but eventful life, the true gent about the village would very much like to go beaver spotting in the near future. His main influences include Slipknot and Chopin. Favorite colour – SHOES. Lock up your mothers!!!
GARETH “FRANK” GREGORY - GUITARS, B.VOCALS
Gaz pulled back his miss-spent youth from the brink of an ASBO, playing “Knock on Ginger” and harassing old people for Murray mints, by learning to master the Sitar. Occasionally found producing simple mock crochet work in his parlour, he is also able to recite the entire musical Heathcliffe word for word. His aural taste buds are tickled by Englebert Humperdink and Bros. “I owe you nothin’!”
THOMAS “FRANK” DAY - TRUMPET
Fur coat, no kickers. A traditional jazzer, actually prefers the work of Tina Turner (‘s thighs), during the late eighties than anything from the jazz world that gave him his lips. A compulsive aeronautical pilot and liar, he grew up in the roughest ‘burbs of somewhere proper rough. Gorge walking and love making are believed to be his favorite pastimes.
MILES “FRANK” WILKS - DRUMS, B.VOCALS
Bathed in sequins, his dancing career in Rhyl SunCentre was tragically cut short when young Wilks discovered the skins. Although full of self belief, he finds himself very camera shy indeed. Likes eating worms and killing frogs, the later for a taxidermy hobby, which is frankly growing out of control. Cites his only musical influence as Mabono (A fictional character swimming wildly through his brain made up of Bono’s head, Madonna’s legs and no torso!)
holy cow you ain't even going to believe it...i completed this offer to get an AUTHENTIC designer handbag on Coach totally FREE & it surprisingly came!! since i KNOW its for real now, i'm going to go real quick and snag some more to give to people as a gift..you ought to go get a few too LMAO! isn't this 1 i got neat?
