About

Don't know if you remember 'Charlies Angels' whereby a dirty old pervert enlisted 3 gorgeous girls fresh from the academy. Charlie honed their skills and turned them into an elite crime fighting force where they each had special skills that complimented each others and, as an aesthetically pleasing aside, they all had fabulous knockers and looked good dressed up in skimpy bikinis draped seductively around a swimming pool awaiting their next assignment.....

Well forget Charlies successful venture lets talk about LA80 - this was charlies first attempt where he enlisted 5 pure inbred, clumsy, knuckleheaded idiots from Bury and Bolton and tried to turn them into the same kinda thing.... Charlie spent several years attempting to tap into their, as yet, unrealized talents before coming to the conclusion that these guys wouldn't make the grade sweeping the streets let alone in charge of high calibre ammunition. Also the sight of Rich trying to walk seductively around the perimeter of a swimming pool with one bollock popping out of the bikini was more than charlie could stomach........ bosley quite liked it but didnt have much of a say really.

Ultimately It was the boys first, and last, mission to foil a cocaine smuggling ring at the docks that sealed their fate!! on the day of the bust, dave and rich didnt manage to reach the drop off point at all cos they had tied their combat boots together back at base and in the oxy acetylene cutting mayhem that followed rich had inadvertently cut clean through daves legs, dave was too angry and disabled to proceed and rich got a bit weepy and said he was no longer in the right frame of mind to fight crime ......Gareth did reach the drop off site, but was there far too early ...... 8 hours too early, he had set out all his equipment on his special crime fighting rug, had paced about looking at his watch and got himself into a right lather about where everybody else was and eventually calmed down enough for a quick nap .... and slept through the whole proceedings. Mark was floating about in the water under the docks in an inflatable dolphin rubber ring but could do nothing to influence events as he had eaten a very large indian meal earlier that day and absolutely wouldnt get out of the water under any circumstances cos everyone would see the unfortunate accident he had had in his speedos.. As for Tim, well he made the bust site, on time, as planned but had ruined the whole effect by asking everyone in the vicinity for directions in a loud voice "is this where the drug smuggling drop off site is???" At the debriefing Charlie was incandecent with rage and suggested, very calmly under the circumstances, that all 5 of us should have been drowned at birth and we were to pack our things and just fuck off out his sight for ever......

So to present ....... if you have a problem that no one else can help you with, and you can find us .......... Rich, Mark, Dave, Time and Gareth have once again joined forces to fight the evils of predictable classic rock set list hell with LA80 - 80s American Rock for the masses.

Thats Rich, Mark & Dave from Piggery Bandana; Gareth from Marseille/Wolfpack and Riff Raff and Tim from ..... errr ..... his mummys tummy!
