- Ich über mich
- The Stax-Volts were formed in 2005, with Bigface D'Arcy (vox/guitar), Azrael Hawke (hammond organ/guitar), & Pat Duggins (drums). After a one-off gig near Stamford, Duggins quit the band under a cloud after dropping a drumstick during a massive guitar solo.
In 2006 the Stax-Volts re-formed in Leeds and recruited a new drummer, Dr Lars Strindberg, and bassist Rory Beckenpacker. Neither of these woeful musicians lasted long and were unceremoniously sacked by text message.
The band's current line-up includes Joel Scintinelli on bass, and Jack Detawney on drums. However, original members Azrael and Bigface have fallen out - only to enter their most productive phase ever (despite not being on speaking terms). Therefore the vocal contributions have occasionally been laid down by Azrael

The Packhorse Gig
Bigface didn't carry any kit as he was knackered from carrying the fucking band.0 Kommentare 941 Tage

2nd Gig
24th April @ The Packhorse. This was slightly better organised than the Primrose debacle, but only slightly better attended - this time by a swarm of semi-angst ridden, disillusioned students who baulked at having to fork out the entrance fee of a quid.
Ryan Shirlow & The Bloody Mary(s) came on and gave an energy filled set of turbo-folk punk-skiffle numbers to deafening applause from the handful of spectators.
We followed up with a blistering set of covers and originals that nearly received a standing ovation, except without the standing part. Luckily we were sober this time...
Many thanks to Bigface for carrying no equipment whatsoever to/from the gig.0 Kommentare 945 Tage

1st Gig
Our first gig took place at the Primrose on the 18th April. Also playing was some dude with a keyboard singing power-ballads, followed by probably the worst singer-songwriter I have ever heard mangling old favourites, after him came the Latchicoes, then the only good band of the night: D-Koy, and lastly came the Stax-Volts! We sounchecked at 6.30pm and came on stage at 11.30pm, which equals 5 hours of drinking... We played like shitting dogs.0 Kommentare 945 Tage
