It all started when a mate lent me his DJ Decks 2 yrs ago when I was recovering from a Hip (H)op ........... boy, has Andy got a lot to answer for !!!!

I knew then I just had to create the music I loved ....... only 1 problem - I had zero music/instrument or theory experience whatsoever ..... pure Zilch !!!  But I had time & passion !!!

.....& then Tash & I saw Parra for Cuve @ Corsica Studios in London ........ Wow .....that gave me my role model ....!!!!
And so, your Honour , that’s when there was an almighty flash of light ......& all this Muso Hardware & Synths suddenly appeared out of nowhere ......... & so my journey began a year ago  !!!

Couldn’t have done it without special help from Brian & Nico .......  Thx for your patience & guidance guys - top chaps xxx

Deep House & techno trance , spliced with some Jungle & Acid House is where all this is heading ......... & then 1 day ....... we’ll have a yabbadabbadoo Beach Rave nearby .......... WooooHoooo ❤️ 😇😇😇😳😳😳😳🤣 🤣🤪🤪🤪

In 1984, people were talking about the “new wave” in rock music. Talking about those hairdressers. A bunch of guys named “Taylor.” That blonde woman. 

And of course, Sid Luscious. 

Sid Luscious and The Pants had the look and the sound the world didn’t know it craved. Teenage prodigies, they quickly rose to prominence in 1983 – barely able to drive themselves to rehearsal! 

Showcase performances around the world followed, as did a recording contract. Sid Luscious and The Pants were primed for great success. The press machine had geared up to prepare everyone for what the band called “Maximum New Wave”.

And then the bottom fell out of their world. Holed up in various studios for almost a year, they struggled with technology, the record business, and each other. For reasons unknown, their record company decided not to release the completed record and dropped the band from their contract. 

Sid disappeared shortly thereafter and the band went their separate ways.

And just as suddenly as they had been headliners, 1984’s “next big thing” became an all-but-forgotten footnote. 

We didn’t talk much for the next 20 years. One of the guys became an accountant. One became a lawyer. Our original keyboard player developed a mental illness and retired. And so on. Sort of like high school – everybody just…grew up. The usual things happen: marriages, kids, happy and unhappy lives, successes and failures, comedy, tragedy, triumph. You know how it is.

Now, 20 years later, the band has re-formed, minus a few original members and plus some new folks: a local musician once famous for performing with a dancing steak, a punk rock escapee, and a hot new keyboard player.
