Sad story for our friend in Turkey but we remain positive for a good end.

Lol and Budgie hopped with Joy to see the Kodo drummers in concert

Budgie met Kodo Principal Leonard Eto via prog rock legend Hoppy Kamiyama

Leo and Budgie drummed and Hoppy vibed with Chaos tapes and the Hai! album was born

In 1977 The Clash drummer Nicky ‘Topper’ Headon was Budgie’s inspiration! 

Lol’s mentor Andy McBride taught him the beats of The Clash

Kraftwerk introduced us to new sounds and the beating heart of German Industry

Stephen Perkins was the ‘Zen Beat Master’ of Jane’s Addiction!

And Perry Farrell was Lol’s psychedelic neighbour

Lol liked XTC’s Terry Chambers and Stranglers sticksman Jet Black 

Budgie dug and digs, Robert ‘Gotobed’ Grey and could have been his namesake

Robert is older than Budgie by 6 years, 4 Months; to the day – Is it time for a party?

And Lol ‘Stopthatnoise’ Tolhurst Agrees - Kindergarden Made Drum Monsters of us All!

It doesn’t take much for drummer’s questions, does it?
