After the first album or 2 they pretty much totally changed line up and had a bunch of dudes from Ulcerate, Dayone, Newayhome, Misadventures in self surgery etc and actually played decent metal rather than the step up step up for 8 foot sativa sorta stuff. All the rest of the members (apart from Gary the main dude) went on to form mark of man prior to 8 foot going back to their roots.

It's a slightly longer story than that:

Gary had a hand surgery and the rest of the band gigged without him for a while. However Gary still hasn't recovered after about a year and rest of the band have written a new album without Gary's involvement, so they decided to move on and do the new album as another band (The Mark of Man).

Then Gary reformed the band with some older members after he recovered, but apparently the other guys have fired him last year, which was a bit funny.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

The results so far are here, for those of you who Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/user/123153384 ... CFVH4iHo23

I have been indiscriminately adding albums rather than curating it, so it is just a big mess of stuff, which is great for shuffling up new stuff (well, new to my ears anyway). I've also added some of my old faves.
