ORAL HISTORY:

PRESTON: I was in Year 8, which is when I started playing drums. I tried playing guitar but we had no drummer. Clarries, Nathan and I had a guitar play-off/battle and I lost, so I had to play drums. I was bummed, but not for long.

CLARRIE: We were just jammin' in High School, we used to practice in a cleaner's closet during lunch break and at my place after school. It was a punk grunge style. We did a cover of Khe Sanh.

AIMEE: Some of our songs are depressing and some are really jumpy... It depends on what mood we're in and what we feel like playing.

CLARRIE: We played at the Civic Centre in Katoomba a bit, Lawson Hall, Melrose Hall... Nath and I had to carry our equipment from Kingswood to get to that show! Also played at the Pioneer Tavern, a hall in Werrington, the Henry Lawson pub in Werrington. We once did a show at Nepean Shores, and only about 5 people turned up, haha.

CLARRIE: Nath left, he wasn't too keen on playing bass anymore. I got in the band Nale and Preston was in another band.
