Here we take an in depth look at some of the things these bizarre
creatures get up to when they're not covering each other in blu-tac...
Vikkey is a pioneer in the ancient
art of paper tearing. This, among her other capabilities including;
smear bottling, Edward truncation and politely encouraging small
woodland creatures to vote, combines to construct a favourable package
in the eyes of us all.(available only while stocks last)
Truly inspired by the words of Buck Rogers, Vikkey continues her
quest to become one of the finest Tofu Sculptresses in the Kingdom.
Other hobbies include trampoline calibrating and Spanish Armchairy.
Surely this is enough to keep most of us busy!
Craig: Bass slinging hydrogenous plant
formation found in the outer reaches of hospital canteens. Little
is known of this melonalchoholic effervescent clump of vegetation.
Other than the markings of stale beer and banana custard, this hybrid
can only be spotted by close examination of its nature; strong language,
pertness of breath, and a psyche stylised by the tag, "Homer".
Byron once wrote: "Ahhh, my sweet Craig....elderberry panhandle,
clockwork frog-gloves! Truly a grassy knoll to be associated with....my
sweet, sweet cinder pestilence holder!". Inspiring words to
live by....
Steve: Six string harbinger of goodness,
god-like figure of beauty, master of award-winning-potato gestating,
all in all, a darn `nice' bloke among mortal men. Steve was conceptualised
from humble beginnings. Born in a hessian sack by the side of the
Putney YMCA, Charlotte, as he was known then, was raised by a local
family of herbalists and gained spiritual enlightenment through
the art of placing figs in the bowler hats of passing businessmen.
Replete with his new found love for dried fruit, he commenced his
research into the mystical phenomenon that is...Pan pipe music of
the fourteenth century. Known for its mysterious healing powers,
the pan pipe and our hero have bonded to become Legion....for he
is are what many is lots many....are....er.....
Mike: The FBI and the National Security
service joined forces in 1973 to embark on an unspecified and highly
secretive genetic project. It has recently come to light that the
artist formally known as `Mike', who we shall refer to only as `Mike',
is the product of this bizarre experiment. Delving further, we found
that on closer examination of this otherwise "normal"
animal, the infrastructure is based on a foreign element which scientists
are calling "liquorice". Even stranger, `Mike' knows no
vowels and communicates with a rural Canadian accent. Of course,
all the above government agencies deny all participation in this
heinous debacle. As the famous Mulder saying goes..."Dr Ruth
is out there...".

A little bit of history:
Members taking part in interview
1. How did you all meet? Vikky and Mike met around 4 years
ago in the bar of a posh hotel, Mike played the ‘Night in shinning
amour’ and came to her rescue, as she was receiving unwanted
attention from a slimy, over friendly pimp type person. They then
poached the depths of the musical dole queue for Stephen and Craig.
They originally came to the cow shed, where they were rehearsing
at the time, to audition for lead guitar. Craig wasn’t good
enough , but Mike pointed out that he was really good at bass type
actions and got the job on the strength of an ass kicking performance.

got together.
3. Has it been a long hard road to fame? Tell us when we
get there.

Bullock and the Inventor of Tapas.
8. Who are your favourite bands of the moment? Vikkey -Vanilla,
Steve ‘what’s the question’, Craig ‘elastic
ones’, and Mike - Beck.

Unanimously live, but Craig prefers a bath.
