STEZ STYX.....DRUMMER WITH 'LAST GANG IN TOWN'.
Hello to anyone who is sad enough or interested in the band to be arsed reading this.
I am Stez Styx...the ugly, bald bastard who sits at the back battering the shit out of my drum kit. If you've read 'About Gary' that really says most of what I have to say, although I would like to add a few things.....
I am the drummer in an authentic punk band called 'LAST GANG IN TOWN', the name's shite but the band isn't. Let me explain.....
We have Gaz on Bass and backing vocals, he is the fat one with the mohican. Let me say Gaz is one of the most technically brilliant bass players I have ever heard, and I've heard a lot. This is great because I don't want some lame bass player holding me back on drums. Gaz and I tend to push whichever guitarist we have in the band to the limit which brings me on to Mark.
Mark, he's the big one with the long hair on guitar. He's always wanted to be in a punk band but has spent the last 30 years playing shitty rhythm & blues until he met me and Gaz. Things have changed now and despite the odd 'Les Dawson' moment I have to say Mark is the most hard-working member of a band I've ever met. If you bother to come and see any of our numerous gigs then you will see Mark's 'gurning' face and hear flashes of genius while he's being pushed to the limit live on stage.
Then we have Tony on lead vocals. He is the slim, aggressive, spikey-haired, deaf one who bellows down a microphone at the front of the stage. I have to say that Tony has showed dedication second to none. This guy drives a 200 mile round trip just to rehearse and he has sacrificed work shifts, personal time and another band to be in 'LAST GANG IN TOWN. Tony is an excellent front man with stage presence to match, he really does have the 'X' factor.
So there we have the band. Possibly the biggest, ugliest, hardest, loudest and best classic punk tribute band in the country.

Right, just before I fuck off I suppose I'd better thank a few people....
The other lads in the band for putting up with my loud and fast drumming, sorry, there's no volume control on a drum kit.
Other members from other bands...you know who you are...
All the people who can be arsed turning up at our gigs.
and...
Tina, for putting up with me.
