Pete Wardrobe - Bass Guitar
He’s a very solid Bass Player and one hell of a backing vocalist. Peter’s never afraid to put in harmonies and can go high or low with his voice.
He’s a minimalist and would turn up with nothing more than a Bass if he could. Peter also can run DI straight into the PA if needed. He is just as comfortable to play with or without an amp.
Pete’s a great bass player to have on board.
Peter is an outstandingly talented musician who’s played in Melbourne cover band Red Rockit along with Dr Shred and the Electric Mayhem.
Jon Chapman - Drums
Former drummer from original Melbourne band “Autofocus”, Jon is the engine room behind the band providing a solid foundation to the songs. Jon’s ability to sing brilliant harmonies and improvise songs on the fly makes Jon a very versatile member of the band.
