Sex, Drugs and Floral Inspiration
In my pre-bike ride days, as life seems to be categorised now, I was in 'The Greatest Covers Band in Southampton'. That's not what we called ourselves, that's an actual quote. From my Mum.
Anyway, we used to have a lot of fun, drink a lot of beer, dance like fools and occasionally, but only very rarely, play stuff that you could describe as music.
A few weeks ago, whilst procrastinating yet again, I decided I was bored and needed to up my friend count around here from zero, so I posted a message on a certain 'community website' to see if I could find some like-minded individuals who would like to pretend to play punk rock music whilst getting drunk together.
Next Wednesday, I take my guitar and amp to a rehearsal room down the road to meet Martin, Tom, Andy and Martin's mate. I've met Martin, in a pub one night, but none of us have met any of the others before. We're just going to see what happens.
The rehearsal rooms needed a band name to make the booking. We don't have one, obviously, so I had to make it up on the spot. Next Wednesday night Dandelion Project will be born. Yeah, yeah, I know it's shit.

Spelling- see me after break.

Meh - so a stray S crept in, what are you gonna do?

Uh, ohmygod, there it is - the new South Coast zine - in a nutshell.

Please. Like anyone's going to belive that "I'm not trying to pull, honest" line.
So - what was it like?
