Band WebsiteYou Are Already On It
Band MembersAndrew - vocals/camera-craft??
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The voice of eighteen hamsters being put in a blender. Superb!

When he isnt tending to his garden, Andrew enjoys running through open spaces in slow motion, with no clothes on. He also enjoys sleeping rough with a tramp called Fred.

Laurence - guitar/vocals
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The guitar playing skills of a man with no fingers. Brilliant!

Laurence is a strange fellow with little interest in anything else other than making toast, and having lemons squeezed into his eyes by four russian ladies. This is followed shortly with a long snooze under the bodhi tree.

Tom - guitar/vocals
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The guitar playing skills of the man with no fingers brother, he has no eyes. Tasty!

As soon as Tom reaches his house in the twiglet forest, he opens his door and finds a small party of gnomes awaiting him. He hugs them and then runs outside, lays his picnic blanket down and shares his winnings with his gnome friends.

Sam - bass/vocals
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The bass playing skills of a small whale beached on a shore in new zealand at low tide. Jazz-tastic!

Sam is the worst at his sport of mouse racing, he tries very hard but it is all to no avail. He simply cant get them to reach speeds over 30mph. He is thinking of moving onto a new sport...

Adam - drums/vocals
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
The Drumming skills of a small african meer-cat on the phone. Nice!

Before Adam goes to bed each night, he kisses his teddy bear and wishes that they would one day get away from all the nasty people who tell him it is just a toy and they will be happy forever on their small canal boat in the Ganges.



REVIEWS!

"The Red Route had an enthusiastic following among the teenage audiance and their cover versions of Naive and Still Take You Home had them rocking in the aisles." - Kate Finburg, The Sutton Guardian

"Great set, great songs and a ticket selling machine..!" - Gaz, Rockstock

COMPETITIONS!

In October 2008 we got through to the Top 10 in 'The Rocker UK' Competition out of 1122 band, the winner would have got a professional photoshoot in London, interview and article in Kerrang! magazine and new intruments for every member of the band, plus more! Unfortunately we didn't win, but we think we came in the Top 5 because we were one of the bands mentioned on Kerrang! Radio =] Thanks to all who voted for us!!

Yeah I'd definately agree with you there, everyone sounds much better at the cryer.

If you follow the same link, and above each pic there should be a button called 'all sizes' if you click on that, you'll be able to get the pics for myspace etc.
