My First Band.



(aka: an insight into the mindset of a 14 year old trying to get laid.)

School days were terrible. Especially boarding school days. There was nothing to do. Only a practise room. So we started a metal band.

'Stabatha and the Minks' (My Idea)
Tobias "Tigerlilly Tinman" - Drums. Lead Vocals
Mark "Passion Possum" Pearson - Synth, Guitar
Anonymous - Guitar, Vocals

We were a Metal Jam Band. We made it all up on the spot.
We honestly thought we were going to be massive.

So anyway I just got an email from an anonymous old friend reminding me of this band. He also attached 2 recordings that we made in the practise room of our boarding school in Surrey. (big in the game. vol.3)

I honestly feel I have to share this with you.

We never did a show outside the school. Our only gig was a school talent show called 'RocSoc.' Basically everyone would cover 'Iris' by Goo Goo Dolls and American Hi-Fi's 'Another Perfect Day.' I'm not kidding. Everyone. And then they would get all the girls. It was a wining formula. We decided to do something different.

This was our setlist:

At Night
Corey Meets Pete
I Get Erection
(Turbonegro Cover. Satyricon Version.)
We actually had to change the lyrics to I get affection
Toxic (Britney Spears. Metal Version)
"for the ladies"

The next RocSoc I was in another band....
Covering American Hi Fi - 'Another Perfect Day'

My first ever band. 'Stabatha and The Minks.'
I'm feeling pretty nostalgic right now. I'll also write out the lyrics so everyone can see what a musical behemoth I am.

'At Night"


cat richards won't leave me alone
she's always hanging by the phone
i wish she would go away and die
leave me alone

at night
they only come out at night

when we go clubbing. yeah they'll be there.
only their fill us with fear
when we go clubbing we'll be prepared
cos we don't want 'em
they only come out

at night
they only come out at night

batman! batman! bat man!
save us from them. don't leave us alone

at night
they only come out at night

save us from them at night.
