Return

Gary, or Dee Dee as he prefers to be called, is the only founding member of the band left and consequently went insane in 1998. Due to his insanity involving no physical nature, the doctors have allowed him to carry on his normal routine, which involves playing with the band.

He was found in a caravan park just outside Newark in 1983 by a young bass player by the name of Joseph Clarkson. Having prodded him with a stick for some time, Gary finally awoke and realised that he had finally found himself a friend. Joe took him under his pigeon-esque wing and bathed him and bought him new clothes, which included a yellow shirt and the now infamous purple tie-dye suit.

With Joe, Gary started the band back in 1990-something. With various members declining into states of mental instability and some coming to gigs too far south and never returning, Gary was forced to replace members of the band with his own creations, made solely from sticks, mud and banana peel. When it was pointed out to him that this was a particularly bad idea, he sought out real musicians.

He still plays today and has recently forced a caravan upon the band instead of a trailer. It reminds of home....

Also, he smells a bit funny.

And can, in some lights, look a bit like a rat. Or homeless. Or both.
