BIOGRAPHY
The band is a four piece ensemble consisting of: Guitar / vocals (Ben Tucker); Lead Guitar (Carlos Gonzalez); Bass, (Merv “Fuzzy” Salole); and drums (Manuel Garcia). By day they’re a bunch of data-jockeys but at sunset transform into whisky obsessed garage animals overseen and guided by their ebullient manager extraordinaire (Richard "Rocker" Young).
