After a freeform jam lasting twenty minutes thru one amp with tremolo on they decided to form a band and took our name from an Echo & the Bunnymen song. At the time they had a guitar, cheap bass, some Casio keyboards (mt30 & VL Tone), a vintage microphone and some analogue effects. They decided that unlike other local bands they would perform only original music and no cover songs. they played many live gigs with our on light show and Chris Petra the sound engineer became the bass player.
