These guys were great. Too bad they broke up before they came to the US. Tom's in a new band with greeny (the drummer) are in a new band called the Back handed compliments now. He used a 330 most of the time in milburn, but recently ive seen him with a gibson 335. Which isnt a bad choice either....

Great band Micheal.Very like the arctic monkeys but we shouldn`t compare the two.Tom Rowley is a great rickenbacker artist thanks for the post.
After the split, several members have gone on to form new bands. Louis Carnall became a member of electro band Lords of Flatbush with ex Arctic Monkey Andy Nicholson and Sheffield based singer Steve Edwards, however he is no longer a member due to other commitments. Tom Rowley and Joe Green are now members of the band The Backhanded Compliments, with Rowley as lead singer, and ex Union City member Ryan Sellars on bass.

Regarding the "Cheshire Cat Smile" video, note that he plays the solo on the Rick. Folks on this board have pointed out from time to time that Ricks are good for more than just rhythm. Assuming the Rick was actually used on the recorded track, here's your proof.
