"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 - 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. If you hear a harmonica, a sax, a trumpet, 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. Orther musical Influences include Queen, The Eagles, Cruel Sea and Greenday.
- Dan - Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals
Dan has been playing in originals and covers bands for over 20 years, and has played in bands supporting 1927, Transvision Vamp, Baby Animals, Dragon, Jenny Morris and Daryl Braithwaite. Dan forms part of the driving rhythm section with Shane, and contributes some handy backing vocals too. Standard comment from Dan "Guys - we really gotta lock down the groooooove in this song !!"
Dan is inspired by classic bass players such as Sting, John Taylor, Flea and John Paul Jones, and cites musical influences such as Prince, Led Zepplin, Jamiraqui, Van Halen and Lenny Kravitz
