We did it for shits and giggles and a bit of petrol money and we ended up totally out of pocket; but it was worth it.
For 4 years, two Steve's and a drummer made music that most people weren't daft enough to bother with and which was not inspired by: the slate grey skies, steel industry, hills... although we did once pen a tune about the lovely ladies of London Road. It was kind of an accident though. That'll teach Ste to teach shy singers how to sing.
We sung glorious odes to the stars and the future (mainly the bleak dystopian futures envisioned by our favourite Sci-Fi authors).
Unless you've got your speakers off then you know what we sounded like at the last point we chronicled our music in recorded form. Its getting better all the time, but its not sounding like Shed 7.
When my internet gets back up i'll put the real latest stuff online.
Sorry.
Steven Doyle (Mr Doyle to some people).
PS When Mike's well we'll do a show.

Having not looked at myspace in about a year i thought ide have a nosey see if i could get some more tunes or possibly get to a gig and what do i find i youve bailed on us! After crying for several hours i got over it, put on my sta t-shirt and started writing this for no apparent reason, appart from to ask when this final gig will be? Please do it in manchester! Also doyle ur no longer one of my heros.
