Gav: Lead Vocals

...unveiling the dynamic new frontman for 2010....Gav has been preparing himself for his big moment by secretly rehearsing with one of the biggest bands in the midlands (that nobody ever saw....cos they were...erm....secret!)
Anyways, we found him hiding away in a cupboard muttering to himself about having discoverd Polonium and we gave him a mike. Now he's out of the closet (cough!..) & he's ready to take to the stage & growl.......

Paul: Vocals / Guitars / Keyboards

...enjoys the trappings of the 'rock n' roll' lifestyle....no money, no women, no friends & no life!!..... but wouldn't have it any other way....
It all started a long, long time ago, in a far of land....(geordie-land!) played in a band at the age of 15 and started giging in the church hall....formed 'August Rong' with the boys from Blyth featuring 'Paul Guerin' (of the Quireboys) on lead guitar. Played guitar & vocals with 'Techno-notice', 'Jam the Gap' & 'Eve' - the last 5 years have been rockin' with X-it and in that time we've played over 300 gigs!!
Lately you'll find me touring with 'The Quireboys' all over the world....or riding my Harley, trying to avoid getting mashed!

Leon: Bass / Vocals

After more than 20 years experience playing guitar (with the seminal 90’s band ‘Uncle Sham’, cover band extraordinaire ‘Chimp Youth and the Primates’ and one hit wonder ‘White Town’) and also bass (the experimental ‘Dangerous Jazz Brothers’, and the well lauded, but ultimately doomed ‘Tomsk’) Leon has come to the conclusion that playing bass is definitely harder than playing guitar.
“It’s to do with regulating the complexities of melody, harmony and rhythm whilst simultaneously driving the spirit of the song”, he mused thoughtfully. “That, and the gaps between the frets are bigger….”

Dave: Drums / BVox

What's not been said about this guy? Most things! Sat behind the drumkit, accidentally thinking it was a picnic hamper, flailing his way through the different layers with the same efficiency as if disecting a kebab!

"I started whacking the chicken drumsticks on my head in frustration - and these guys offered me a job. Apparently I was more musical than the other guy!!!"

Mark:Lead Guitar

Rarely seen outside in the daylight, and hates garlic and all religeous artifacts after an unfortunate incident in a churchyard as a boy.... Prides himself on his ability to play guitar at warp speed without using his hands in the traditional sense. Steer well clear if he hasn't just eaten, as he could be on the prowl for a suitable victim & you may live to regret the consequenses...!!
