about

Dr Colossus were a three-piece band hailing from the lovely town of Bognor Regis consisting of guitarist/vocalist Kit Mason, drummer Tony Kus, bassist David Pitt and in the later days guitarist Tom Dougal. Tony and Kit originally formed the band in February 2002; bassist David Pitt soon joined them. Over the next few years they played gigs with bands such as the Pipettes, the brakes, the tenderfoot, the rifles, the ordinary boys, the bandits....basically a load of bands with ‘the’ in the name. In that time they made quite a few home recordings, two of which featured vocals from Pipettes singer Rose Dougal, ‘Sleep’ and ‘Fallen in Love’, recorded in 2004. Unfortunately the band split up in the late summer of 2005 when David went up north to university. In the spring of 2006 the remains of Dr Colossus became the Strained Assembly - consisting of original members Kit and Tony and a new member Richard Hanney. A slight set back occurred when Tony left the band, but fortunately he rejoined shortly afterwards as a bontempi keyboardist. With their new and much improved sound, they’re now plugging it across the lands of Brighton and beyond.
