ORAL HISTORY:
RENA: I learnt bass when I was 16 or 17 at high school. I wanted to be in a punk band and thought bass would probably be easy enough to learn. We'd practice in John or Shane's garage.

JOHN: We played a show at Max's Petersham, We were on the flyer and it was meant to be our first show and for some reason, maybe nervousness or because our guitarist pulled the plug on it a few days before the gig, we weren't gonna play it. Then all three of us were at the show and Gilesy (local legend, artist) heard we had a few songs ready to go and managed to convince our guitarist Shane that we should play a couple of songs before Toe to Toe's set. Then Gilesy went off and basically told Toe to Toe to let use their gear!
