Murder at the Carnival is a new original three piece band from Hastings (UK). As a band, we are focused on hard commercial Rock that is both serious and at times a little tongue in cheek (As we have a sense of humour e.g. Alice :) Each member is an experienced musician in their own right and has collaborated with other bands and projects throughout their careers in the music industry. We have all known each other for years and decided it was time to work together. Mostly we love to perform and entertain; hoping people enjoy the music we create. However, our professional aim is to secure a deal that enables us to tour and earn enough money from sales and merchandise, so we can continue to write and perform music which is our passion. 
John Paul Guy: Lead vocalist/guitar/Lyric’s/Melody/Production/Mixing and Arrangements 
•	John has only started to sing in the last year as the front man, although he has written absolutely loads of material in the past for other vocalist, so has an enormous catalogue of songs. He has played guitar for over twenty years and recorded professionally in studios regularly. John also works as a sound engineer and has done some production for other bands. However the best place to see him is on stage strutting his stuff, both now vocally and with some wicked lead guitar to boot. “If it doesn’t stir an emotion then it aint rocking” and “We are there to put on a show” are frequent comments from John. 
Equipment: Marshall Jcm 2000 TSL 100 head, 2x12 1922 Cab, Gibson Nighthawk standard 92, Schechter Bada Bling, Peavey Telecaster, Loads of pedals (JoJo Flanger, tremlo, Boss Chorus, Akai Phaser, Vintage delay, Boss Me70 
Stefan Minszko: Bass player/Backing Vocals 
•	Stefan has been playing for over twenty five years, both guitar and the bass, as well as singing lead and backing in various projects. Having also written his own material in previous projects and is no stranger to playing and performing on the stage. This is where he gets his kicks, plugging in and rocking on in front of the crowd. “That’s what it’s all about” and smiles as he cranks up the amp and the music engages. 
Equipment: TC Electronic Bass head and cabs, Fender precision and Jazz Fretless, various pedals, chorus, flanger, fuzz, phaser, compression.

Loz Mann: Drums/percussion/Backing vocals 
•	Loz has been playing for over thirty years and has been involved in many projects and professional outfits. He has toured Europe in the past, sessions in cover band regularly and is constantly banging out the beat. He works hard, plays hard, A good time keeper, a great performer, very entertaining to watch and a proper poser. “Hahahahahahahhaha” and “Burp” followed by a snigger and “Let’s have it” pretty sums up the links with Keith Moon. Loz is nuts but he’s the drummer. 
Equipment: Yamaha drums, dw hardware, Zildjian/Sabian Cymbals, Evans heads, Vic Firth sticks
