the SPAT

The SPAT started out one fine Aireys Sunday afternoon after watching Los Locos play at Andi’s birthday party at the Pub. We went back to Anna and Pauls’ place where they were minding Nina’s drum kit whilst she was living in Berlin with her parents Mick and Dianna. The drum kit just fitted in Mia’s old bedroom. Mia had just moved out 2 weeks before. We cobbled together other gear and we soon had a cramped band room where the magic happened. We would “borrow” the town PA from the pub every now and then when it was free and jam and work out some of our favourite songs. It helped not having any permanent neighbours. Originally the SPAT were Sharon Paul Anna and Tony and named as a piss take on ABBA not that we play any ABBA songs. Bricky soon joined as a triangularist list and cowbellist followed by Dave who we weaned off his ukulele and banjo suggesting he would be great on key boards.

 

Playing an eclectic bunch of obscure and not so obscure hits we create SPAT versions of some of your favourite songs. We have played the Aireys music festival a couple of times in the past, as well as Hugh and Libbys’ pong break up. We even did a “tour” down the great ocean road. Come and rock out with the SPAT!
