We looked different every time. Sometimes we wore the paint and sometimes we just thought it was silly. Gander, the bass player and I were never very good at getting the eye liner on so we sometimes looked like raccoons. We wanted to use the Muppets theme for our entrance music ('it's time to put on make up, it's time to light the light) because we thought dressing up was stupid but fun. I think we should have settled for jeans and T-shirt.
Without a doubt one of the most bizarre acts to ever come out of the NWOBHM movement....that is if you classify them as such (it did come out in 1986 near the end of the movement after all). Hard to pin these guys down, as they are so different from other bands of this genre. Do you want to hear barbershop chanting vocals, they are here. Ya dig rap? (Not me . personally) - there's some of that too in the song pigfeeder. You want a sappy ballad - not a power ballad mind you, but a sappy ballad, they have that too! Bizarro world NWOBHM to say the least. BOTTOM LINE - if your adventurous and ready for something extremely completely different, check these dudes out.
