RISER

Pete...

When pressed for an answer, people who see Pete at our gigs offer several responses when we ask what they think of our bass player.

"Poser" gets mentioned quite a bit, no doubt due to the oft-used wide-legged stance he adopts when playing a particularly tricky riff. "Bubbles" is also regularly heard (which we believed was only his nickname within the band.... but apparently they were referring to his bottle of soap which he blows through his ring whenever the fancy takes him.

Thing is - we have to knock Pete. Because we know full well he could pick up any role within the band and do a good job. And so we have all learned to live with his little eccentricities, in favour of the sound he brings to the band. With a bassline as solid as this, who cares if the rest of Pete is a little strange?

Pete plays Precision Bass, Trace Elliot Amplification, and The Fool.....

Meet the chaps...

First, and by no means greatest, is Lee Davids. He may be short in stature, but he is big in talent. Our lead singer and guitarist boasts a scarily large portfolio, and he will get it out anywhere.

Next, our lead guitarist is Dave Cox, who with his wah-wah pedal and bright yellow guitar sets the standards that we all try to sink to...

Now we come to bassist Pete Hutchins. Veteran of many a party, Pete knows what turns a tune into an anthem (usually a solid bass-line!)

No band would be complete without a great drummer. So whilst we wait for one to come along, we have Paul Shrimpton. Paul keeps us in time, if not always on time, and completes the on-stage line up.

Finally, we'd be nothing without the man on the knobs, Dave Hutchins, who brings years of industry experience to our cause. He really is our secret weapon.
