I don't have any pictures of the band members at the moment but I can assure you we're all incredibly good looking (can I get sued for lies on a web site?) and live the rock n roll lifestyle to the full (Veronica didn't go to bed till 11.30pm the other night, and I listend to a hip hop record once).
Chris Liddiard Who wrote the lyrics to "Everybody Needs A Dream" has a site with several versions of his song (including an earlier version of ours). Click on the following link http://www.everybodyneedsadream.com/recordings.asp?Tune=1
