"Vashti was born on a faraway planet called Zorb.

She travelled to Earth in a small automatic washing machine manufactured on the planet Zannusi!

Her skin was a bluey orange colour, with the texture of a walnut, thick purple hair covered her body, as did hidious warts. Her diet was mainly newts and sulphuric acid. By the age of 3 months, she was 7 stones in weight, and 4 feet tall.
To us, she was truly beautiful! And having extra fingers and toes was an added bonus.

By the age of 6 months, Vashti could talk .... No one could understand her as she spoke a mixture of venusian and seahorse.

At 9 months we shaved her and dyed her a fleshy pink ~ she was then a beautiful English rose.

It was several years later when we discovered the terrible truth .... she was a vampire!

Absolutely perfect!" -Dad

Headbanana Studios is a small Home-studio situated within North Lincolnshire. 

Headbanana Studios was set up to record/produce tracks for the owners friends and their bands/solo projects.

ChrisCooperBand are a folk/rock indie band from Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.
They play in a style which combines the melody driven tinklings of folk, with the beats and punked up attitude of modern indie music. Imagine Mumford and Sons if they had grown up in a northern steel town. With the ability to pound out catchy guitar driven music and also bring their sets down to the atmospheric folk storytelling ballads, they always get their audience bouncing around and singing the songs as they leave the venue.

Enjoying a steady success over the time they have been together, the band have toured extensively, hitting all the major festivals for their home turf and even getting out to play slots at Nokia Tramlines, Bands on the Move, Sheftival, Humber Street Fest and Trinity fest, as well as catching the ear of several radio stations from Manchester down to London including Alan Raw’s BBC Introducing Show on Humberside Radio, where they are regularly included in the play list and have done 3 live lounge sessions to date.
