- Here are a few things you might like to know about us:
1. We used to be called The Shakes, however as there are approximately 627 other bands called The Shakes, we thought it best to change ours.
2. The boys in the band are: Greg Burgess (bass), Kevin Anderson (lead guitar, backing vocals), Fraser Bateman (vocals), Alan Hay (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Scott Morrison (drums).
3. Kevin and Greg met at school in Elgin and then went to college in Aberdeen. It was at college where they met Alan and Fraser. After a year of the odd late night drink here and there, the idea to form a band came about, in order to, maybe, get some free drink!
4. We have released two Eps, “I Love Julie Newmar” and “Confessions of a Binge Drinker”. You can download them from iTunes or buy them from One Up , Aberdeen or Sound and Vision, Elgin.

wondered why some freaky bitch was calling me. use aldos number next time. chicks dig aldo.
Some freaky bitch appeared in my mirror. Didn't know what to do so shot her a wink and a smile, didn't work so I offered her the following: Greg's phone number, a can of pepper spray and a photo of Scott dressed as He-Man. I'm alive but barely. Don't read that comment
OH MY GOD!!!! IT WORKED
But does it actually work? That is the question.
We still drink though!
