The Story...

back in the year 2000 (if you can remember then) hammy got a shity westfield guitar as a 15th birthday present, and persuaded bugsy into getting a shitty westfield bass, which he then did.

many moons later (when they could play a few shitty 3 chord punk covers) they started jammin in a local scout hall, when drummer no.1(reg from spoonguard) arrived. he sucked, and was promply swapped for god, who was shit hot!

we went through many names back in 2001, but drink and weed has fucked the memory so we cant remember them now, but eventualy settled on This Way Up, and started jammin out punk covers every sunday morning, just to piss the neighbours off!

after a while, stick was drafted in as a singer. he only lasted one gig, which was such a shambles, he left! back to 3...

then gillis arrived in summer 2003, and he didnt suck! he did, however, last only 2 gigs, and then moved to fuckin edinburgh for uni commitments. bollocks!! back to three, again...

then we had caroline, a singer synth player.  she was hammys other half, and only lasted one practice as they broke up! back to three, again...

we took these failed attempts at expanding the band as a sign from the heavens to stay a fuckin 3 piece forever, so we did...

Well, well, well.....guess wot people we r giving the 4 piece another go. One wrecked nite me n god came up with the idea of trying him singing n playing a bit of guitar n giving hoogz a shot on the drums. At the moment things r going ok and hope to get back into gigging in the very near future.

Well, we stuck it out, and now 9 months(ish) down the line its been well worth it, drums are soundin great, the double bass adds a different touch we never had before and the 2 guitars means we can have a lot more freedom in what we can write, so we're stickinig with the 4 piece!
