Meet The Band

Wendy

image of Wendy, the drummer, holding a mug of tea Wildcat Wendy is our drummer, she "keeps the beat" and chips in with some backing vocals. She has more drum kits than you can shake two sticks at and that is exactly what she does. Very much the driving force behind the band's publicity, she is the focal point of band logistics and communications. She generously provides the band's rehearsal space and on top of that the little lady makes a damn fine cup of tea.

John

He gets a little tetchy if we don't leave him enough space on stage to strutt his stuff, so if the rest of us look a little cramped you'll know why. Look out for John when you're out and about, he'll be the one with a "Starbucks" umbrella sticking out of his head.

Matt

image of matt our Lead Vocalist Matt (Von-Krystal) is our front man, delivering vocals that range from subtle whispers to blood curdling shouts. You can't help but love him, and neither can he. During our performances matt likes to encourage audience participation and is always willing to fill in with the odd Tommy Cooper gag, and I mean "odd". Why not visit Matt's youtube channel.

Alan

image of Alan our Lead Guitarist Guitarist Alan is the most recent addition to our line up. He has plyed his trade on the Midlands music circuit with a number of bands. Favourite styles include soul, blues and classic rock. Chief guitar influences - Keith Richard, Johnny Winter, John Martyn, Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Robin Trower, etc.

Rob

image of Rob our Guitarist Ten Pint Bob is strictly rhythm but that hasn't stopped him amassing a dazzling array of guitars. He also lends a hand with the vocals taking lead on "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone" and adding his choir boy harmonies throughout. Despite having the memory of a goldfish he adds depth with his chugging rhythms and thwack-attack wha wha.

Paul

image of Paul our Keyboardist Paul tinkles the plastics (it's not cool to shoot elephants any more), bringing all manner of synthesized instruments into the mix. Its a dirty job but someone has to do it. His singing voice is akin to that of a strangled elephant seal with terminal tone deafness so it is very unlikely you will ever see a microphone in his vacinity. If you do you are strongly advised to retreat to a safe distance and plead for mercy.
