Silence Are:

Name: Robbie Instrument: Guitar Robbie loves music, and he can be quite bitter about the fact that he's not a multi-millionaire Rock Star..... yet. Every band has a wierd one and Robbie is this bands'. He likes nothing more than lighting a smelly candle and relaxing to a wide variety of sounds. Robbie is in the Guinness Book of Records for being the butt of the most 'thin' jokes in history.

Name: Mark Instrument: Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Andean Nose Flute (but not with his nose) All drummers are supposed to be crazed, but no-one who's as disturbed as this should be allowed out. A big fan of the Stranglers, The Doors and The Ramones Mark lives and Breathes Rock And Roll. Mark will be in a band until he drops dead, and would play seven nights a week non-stop if it weren't for his piles and gout. Mark is constantly writing and recording in his home studio, his demo output is prolific.

Name: Dave Instrument: Bass guitar and Vocals Dave joined a band for two reasons, money and girls. In over a decade he's had F**K ALL of either. The only time Dave picks up his acoustic to write songs is when he's on the toilet, which can be quite handy. If the song supply starts to 'dry up' he'll have a curry and write a new set! Dave loves the raw power of The Who in their heyday, and anything that the Beatles recorded.

The fourth member   Wherever and whenever Silence strut their funky stuff there is always one person without whom this band would be even more unorganised than they already are. (If that's possible) His name: GAVIN! Gav helps with the gear, sets up the lights, controls the soundcheck, drinks an incredible amount of lager and even manages to drum on a couple of songs. (Smartarse or what!) Without Gav there would be no Silence - so blame him folks.

Special thanks to... A big thank you to PAUL MOTHER (I have no idea - Mark told me to say it ...Nick) Angie who organises gigs, transport and 'The Juice'. Kall Kwik Printers Bradford. Christopher James Entertainment. Slimfast for keeping Robbie's weight down to a respectable 3 stone. Jack (Mark's dad) for all his welding work holding the drums together. Superglue, Blu-Tac, Sellotape and string - without which our gear would cease to function. Gillette, for not producing a razor which Mark will use. Leafield Van Hire, for costing us a bloody fortune over the years. Karioke nights, for being shite and keeping bands in work. To everyone who watches coz we look silly twats playing to no one. Lager manufacturers everywhere (this is for Gav). Old folk who hold lollipops so kids don't get squashed.
