Gary Harvey

Gary Harvey: Bass and Vocals - Gary has been very prominent in the New Zealand music scene. He's also done a couple of tours of duty in the UK in the 70's and Texas in the 90's. His time in the UK brought him close to the "big time" on a number of occasions - he auditioned for Free, got the job but contractual obligations (either the band stayed together or they were finished) ended that. SuperTramp asked him to join, but he didn't like their music.... and also Stealers Wheel offered him a job, but at the time, couldn't pay enough to support his family. So NZ has seen him play with amongst others Sonny Day, Black and Blue and The Red House Rockers. He's opened for George Thorogood, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and a few notable others.

 

Tony Abbott

Tony Abbott: Guitar and Vocals - Tony has been playing throughout NZ in one band or another since returning from the UK during the 70's, where he played with an eclectic bunch of musicians ranging from members of Hawkwind to folk troubadours travelling around the country. Bands played in and with include The Gangsters, The Charlatans, Slim Chance and Medicine Hat. He teaches guitar as well as repairing and building them.  

Mike Beck

Beginning his career almost twenty years ago, Mike’s had a diverse ride playing in many bands of differing musical genres.

After a long association with Flying Nun luminary Matthew Bannister (Sneaky Feelings, Dribbling Darts, The Weather), Mike cut his Rock ‘N’ Roll teeth with the late Alphonso Keil & The Kavaliers. His journey has also seen him playing with & alongside JT, Don McGlashan, Geoff Maddock (Goldenhorse), Psychobilly Power Trio ‘The Broadsides’ & a host of others

Stray Falcon

StrayFalcon - originally from Puerto Rico, moved to Miami Florida and as a teen, played in house bands on percussion. Then moving on to the guitar, Juan Sanchez, his real name, moved to New Zealand 10 years ago and had been looking for an opportunity to play with seasoned professionals. His break came in the form or a phone call from a friend who said that Gary Harvey was looking for a rhythm guitarist and that he should audition for the band...

The Gods certainly have shone down upon Juan, who being deeply religious sees this band as his calling, and feels truly blessed.
