Meet the Band

Shane - Drums
Shane has previously played in Eighth Day and Clayton Five. Shane continues to work with some of the finest drummers in the country, and is so committed to the craft he built his own full-scale studio under his house .. now that's dedication ! Shane forms part of our driving thythm section, and if this guy rehearses any more his arms will fall off ! "Shane, that song seriously does not need any more drum fills !"​ His favourite bands are Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, ACDC, The Police and the Foo Fighters, and his drummer influences are John Bonham, Stewart Copeland, Ian Paice, Chad Smith, Matt Cameron and Taylor Hawkins.
Jon - Lead Vocals
Jon has been a vocalist for Total Recall, Revamp, Blast, Silverhair and Voxneon. Singing in covers bands for about 25 years, Jon is in constant search of perfecting the craft - just ask any of the band about the painstaking rehearsals ... "Jon - honestly the additional off-beat in the 27th bar is not that critical ! ". Renowned in the band for the white jeans and constant distractions throughout gigs - (usually whilst the boys are trying to have their rock star moments)... and changing the set list on the fly! His influences - INXS, U2, Icehouse/Flowers, Tears For Fears, New Order - anything classic 80's. More recently Daft Punk, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd.
Stew - Keys and Backing Vocals
Stew has previously performed with Old Play, The Simones and Silverhair. Stew has amassed numerous synths and is a master of programming. If you hear a harmonica, a sax, a trumpet, bagpipes, another guitar, or an entire orchestra - actually that's Stew and his masterful keys work. "Hey Stew - can you make that sax sound a touch more brassy .. it''s pretty good but could be even better buddy ! " Stew gains inspiration from Rick Wakeman pioneering the synth in Journey to the Centre of the Earth, the clean sounds and amazing keys in Supertramp and the pure vocals of Michael Hutchence. Other musical Influences include Queen, The Eagles, Cruel Sea and Greenday.
  • John - Bass Guitar
If you've made it this far, you're John's new best friend ... he figures no-one ever knows the bass player's name or recognises their existence in a band... now now John - your bass grooves are an essential foundation for our sound ! John has been playing bass in cover bands since around the time Sting met Stewart Copeland and formed The Police. He had an initial flirt with the Tuba, but figured he'd have more social success if he stuck with the bass, and proceeded to acquire a Steinberger. John’s a highly experienced musician, inspired by Stanley Clarke, Bootsy Collins and Leland Sklar, and a fussy bugger in the studio and on stage. Just get him into a conversation around light and shade, dynamics, tempo and 'feeeeel'. In his spare time John is seriously into sailing, having competed at three Olympics and won numerous medals in the Tornado Catamaran class. When John's getting revved up for a competition or a gig, you'll find him listening to The Police, Cold Chisel, AC/DC, Airborne and The Darkness... and yes the photo is upside down ... because John has a soft spot for Lionel Ritchie and a certain ceiling 🤩
