Frank From Blue Velvet;
When Ogs (from the infamous punk band Peter and The Test Tube Babies) and dark country singer Andrew J Davies started thinking about playing the pubs of
Hastings, they quickly realised that a two-piece outfit wouldnt deliver on their ambitious sound.
After a few lineup changes, the band evolved into a family affair with Davies daughter on bass.
Their sound is an eclectic mix of post-punk blended Americana with elements of gospel, blues, and rockabilly.
Lyrically their songs are dark and laced with biting wit.
The band has recently been featured in Vive Le Rock magazine, played on Radio 6 Music, and completed a 10 date stadium tour of Germany, supporting Peter and The Test Tube Babies
