Many moons ago, in a smokey bar somewhere in the backstreets of Bournemouth, Percival J. Ramshead III (Percy) was introduced to local legend Si Genaro (age: unknown). At the time, Percy was playing bass with a band called Sidesweeper (now Cordia), a posse of rockin' riffmeisters; and Si was playing with anyone that came his way... a habit which Dave (the drum-hitter) was later to pick up...
Si and Percy got talking about their mutual love of embroidery, and before they long, they had made a pact - to form one of the bestest bands the world had ever seen/heard. Si had around 4,976 songs, and Percy had the bass-playing skills of a man with very good bass playing skills.
The seeds had been sown...
The pair set off to find other musicians to join their musical quest, and after a series of strict auditions and a very thorough medical examination, the pair recuited Simon F. as rhythm guitarist, and band drunkard. He had a quiff, and held his plectrum just right...Perfect!
Now all that was left was to find a drummer...
The intrepid trio decided to let nature take it's course and rather than look for a drummer, or buy one from 'Drummers R Us', they would genetically create one in the lab in Percy's basement.
After many long, hard, minutes of trying, they finally managed to give up, and decided to ask Dave instead. Dave, a legendary ladies man, had his own drum kit and EVERYTHING, so he was a natural choice for the drummer in the band.
We're gonna have ourselves a rooting tooting SHINDIG that Britney would like to lip sink at, if she were in town, which she isn't. We're at the winchester on the 23rd October.

3 Reasons to Record at ITG I In a separate building, not a bedroom or part of a house. Okay, it's “in the garden” of a house, but it's a detached, purpose built studio, soundproofed from the outside to around 90db, acoustically treated inside with a separate live and control room. Remember, if the acoustics in the room are not right, no amount of equipment will ever fix it. T Tons of industry standard equipment, not home studio toys. For example the RME Fireface 800 is one of the top of range digital audio interfaces recording up to 192Khz ( not that you need it ) with almost no latency at all. That combined with Neumann/Rode vocal/instrument mics and things are looking good. G Good value for money. We are not the cheapest and we are proud of that fact. We charge a mid-range price that enables us to offer the kind of after session support needed. Ask any previous customer and they will tell you how much trouble w
