Battle of the Bands - Brian Carney - Bog

It's 1988 and thinks could be looking up for The Smiling Reptiles. The North of England Battle of the Bands competition could be just the break needed for: Frontman Stevo, a drug-fuelled egomaniac, meglomaniac sex maniac. Vinny, a pot smoking guitarist with a rare talent...for plagiarism. Scat, a timid ex-Punk bassist, ill at ease with his new-found funk tendancies. Narcissistic pretentious knob-twiddling synth player Lexxo, and drummer/plumber Raggerty, a no-nonsense skin pounder with more than a passing fondness for the amber nectar. On the other hand, the contest could turn out to be just another dead-end smalltown gig, but not for the shadowy figure trailing their every move; for him it's a matter of life and death...
