the perfect chai...

is one of the names that our band is going by at the moment...as artists, we're more concerned with the music than the name of the band...we might even go without a name...though the latest thinking on that is...the band is now called The Dirty Scooter Crew...

Dirty Scooter because we're gritty, down to earth musos = Dirty...also coz Bec and Liz reckon that Scooters are dirty, polluting machines...bec had a brilliant idea to call the backups = rickshaws, but Dirty Scooter Crew and the Rickshaws is too much of a mouthfull..so Dirty Scooter Crew we is...and here are some of the members in a Rickshaw on the way to Julian's 40th dinner at the Metropole;





our band includes bec (from Florida) and I on acoustic guitar, liz (from Florida) on backing vocals, tambourine and chai, nat (From Illinois and Mexico) on backing vocals and asking questions, alex (from Malaysia) on backing vocals and reading, hanuman (from ?) on human beatbox...and the latest additions, all the way from Norway = Elin and Lars - these guys are in a real band in Norway so they add a lot of class to the lineup

our favourite time of the week is Friday band practise, where the beers come out;


we cite our influences as Neil Young, Green Day, Concrete Blonde, Gomez, Tom Waits, Pink Floyd...and India - being the motivation for a lot of bec's lyrics

we reckon we're a couple of weeks away from gigging...which is what we've said for about the last month or so :)
