We are a funk melodic rock band, formed in 2001 by Keith Chapman (guitar) and Pete Riddlestone (bass).

Through trial and error we finally found a drummer in Chris Whale, who captured the vibe of the band perfectly.

However something was still missing. As Keith was performing both vocal and guitar duties the music inevitably suffered.

In summer 2004 Dave Tudor joined the line up through Peter and has adapted well to the unique music style and has added a new dimension to the band.

In recent months the band has taken a break from gigs to focus on writing new music.

We now find ourselves in a position with the confidence and the songs to make an impact.

Profiles

Name: Dave Tudor

Instrument: Vocals

Age: 19

I joined the band during the summer of 2004. I have been in previous bands but have never been in one with so much focus, and drive to make it. My major influence is Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional. I feel I have added a new dimension to the band, and feel the music we create is awesome.

Name: Keith Chapman

Instrument: Guitar/Vocals

Age: 20

I have been playing guitar for almost four years. I draw my influences mainly from John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The music we create is a result hard work and learning from one another.

Name: Pete Riddlestone

Instrument: Bass

Age: 20

I bought my bass the same day as Keith bought his guitar. It was always the plan to buy the gear, start a band and be the best. My inspiration comes from one day hoping to be as good as Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He is my major influence and the reason why I am playing bass today.

Name: Chris Whale

Instrument: Drums

Age 18

I feel proud to be in a band which creates such good music. I feel my role within the group is to lay down a steady beat for the other guys to paste over. I have a wide range of influences, but my style relates to that of Chad Smith from the chili’s (a major influence of the band).
