Band History

Some of The Liars Club liked Nirvana, some of them liked Burt Bacharach. The band wondered what would happen if they mixed the two up. Like those chemistry sets some of us had as kids. The ones that lost their appeal after a few minutes of trying to grow blue crystals; the ones that sow in your mind the idea that you had to mix everything left in the kit together, in the hope that some twisted worker in the MB Games factory had included precisely those chemicals that when combined produce an epic explosion.

David Tonkin (Drums)

Never happier than when he's pounding the skins with all his might, David's always been capable of unleashing destruction on his kit on an epic scale. If you want to see explosives check David's mountainous fills, pounding rhythms and earth shattering rimshots.

Chris Stevens (Piano & Lead Vocals)

Chris began playing piano at 5 years old with a marching band in his hometown of Kreofh, Russia. After a few years, however, the sheer physical pain and stress of the marching band's schedule (three years of carrying a baby-grand on shoulder straps around remote mountain villages) drove him to apply for a foreign-student exchange scheme. Arriving in England in the spring of 1989, he enroled on a piano course advertised on the back of Weetabix boxes at the time and withdrew from the world for 2 years to learn the art of the piano-body-slam, taught to him in the basement of the British Museum.

Jamie Lloyd (Bass & Vocals)

Legendary for his 'scratch-bass', a faultless bass-guitar emulation of a DJ scratching records, Jamie is the punch audiences feel in the stomach when the bass kicks in.

Expelled from The New York School of Music for stealing the last five notes of Beethoven's 9th and holding them to ransom in the campus clock tower, Jamie is the band member with the most experience of small firearms.
