The Rhythm Method

The university band. Actually, this was probably back when we were called The Bearded Clam Quimtet. It was a shit name but better than Pencil or Hot Fish Yoghurt, which were the only other ones we considered.

Left to right: me (bass, vocals), Ad (drums), Rich (guitar, vocals), PO'T (vocals, tambourine - "a very intricate instrument actually"), James (keyboards, vocal yelping when drunk).

We're at the Old Castle in Aberystwyth. I can't honestly remember who took the photo (God, we were there for ages, looking wistful and interesting, lying down, jumping off things, holding mops), it may have been one of the other lads' girlfriends. If you know, do write in!

Also, there was no point in having our photo taken 'cos we only did covers of songs that we could play, and we weren't releasing a biog or anything (and we didn't have the kind of following that required us to put our photo on posters). It's just "one of those things that bands do", right?

I bet we were all supposed to be in lectures.
