Stephen Hartley: Guitar & vocals.
Karl Eden: Bass.
Bish Davies: Drums.
Influences
Any 3-piece band that can cut the mustard (and that doesn't mean various insipid middle of the road mainstream t**ts who have hidden members in the background). Anything that challenges the accepted norm. Anything that sticks up two fingers to the establishment. Good guitar players. Beauty, passion, irreverence, soul, soulful, the mighty Fall, John Peel forever, offbeat, awkward, nature, Carlos Castaneda.
Sounds Like
A 3-piece band who plug their guitars into their valve amps, bang their drums, dance to a different tune and sound like no-one else
songs: Irreverent. slightly cynical. wryly observational. Gently engaging. Bristling with humour. Challenging, but heaven forbid never middle of the road. Lyrics within lyrics, cryptic comment.

Good evening! I'll be starting a tour in the UK next week, and wanted to let you know.
You may have heard my guitar playing and not even realized it was me. I played with Buddy Holly, and when you listen to "It's So Easy" or "Heartbeat"...well, that is me.
We will play some of the Buddy Holly songs that i played on so many years ago, and a few more! I might even sing a couple.
I hope you can make one of the dates?
Best,
Tommy Allsup
