THE STORY SO FAR

This crazy journey began for me and the band back in 2003, or it might even have been 2002, but who cares really. Back then alcohol had a great influence on my life so everything is a bit of a blur, but let me tell you how I think this all started.

I have been involved with bands in one way or another for about 20 years but at this time, 2003 that is,  I wasn’t involved in any band, and hey it actually felt great for that short period of time. I was just trying to be an everyday bloke, a nobody really, just go to gigs, enjoy life, drink too much, cause a bit of trouble and that kind of stuff. I was successfully doing this (but did pick up a broken nose in the process) but there was still one thing I couldn’t escape from. Everywhere I went I couldn’t shake them usual questions….. How’s the band? When’s the next gig? Any recordings planned? What’s new? And I got sick of answering these and similar questions. So there began the story telling, and complete lie of a new band called ‘Tattooed Mother Fuckers’, with crazy songs about drinking, fucking, fighting, songs straight from the gutter of life. But somehow this story started to appeal to me.

So through the blur of ‘Jack Daniels’ or ‘Jagermeister & red bull’ I started talking with a few musicians and we managed to arrange one practice, but that was as far as the band went that time. Some where down the line me and ‘Deranged Mother Fucker’ eventually got our shit together and booked the studio and knocked together x5 songs. We were amazed by the results, well more like we were shocked, so we sent out a few copies to some labels we knew and it resulted in the 7” release, followed by the mini CD version.

This was the kick up the arse that we needed, and it pushed us back into the studio again in 2005 where we recorded the ‘It’s a Thugs Life’ CD, which was released early in 2006. This really got the band a lot of attention, great reviews and gig offers, but we were still struggling to get our act together. Due to personal stuff, hectic life styles, and yes you guessed it, alcohol, we still hadn’t got the live side of things sorted out.

Now 2006 is coming to an end and still we haven’t played live, but we have recorded another 19 songs within this period. And something else we can tell you is that the practice sessions have started and we can promise you that 2007 is gonna be a busy year for us, especially on the live side of things. So be warned now, we will be coming to a venue near you.
