Ginger Bastards - Spudgun

There are at least three bands with this artist name.

I) A melodic punk/hardcore band from Sydney, Australia which existed in early 2000s. Releasing 3 EPs & 1 Album. Members went on to form the bands Call The Medic, Call The Nurse!! & Septembers Silence.

II) An old-school style Christian punk band on the Bulletproof (sometimes known as Bulletboy) label.
They released a self-titled album in 1997. The next year, they morphed into noise/hardcore/punk/crust band World Against World.

III) An independent Four piece band from Essex, England formed in the early 1990's who play (in their own words) "Indie style songs with a Mod twist." The band were always a crowd pulling raw live act that could never unfortunately capture that atmosphere in the studio. The members have now gone their separate ways.

Jim Ferry: Guitar and lead vocals.
Born in the east end of London, Jim quickly discovered a love of 1960's music and pop art culture. Learning to play the guitar so he could emulate his heroes, John Lennon & Steve Marriott he started to write songs at an early age. Jim played in several bands around London and Essex. He met Andy while working in Barking and they formed 'The Obvious Wigs'. He has a self confessed love affair with Rickenbackers and Lambrettas.

Jason Dunn: Bass and vocals
Born in Jersey before moving to the east end of London where he met Andy Donovan at the age of 14. Jason learned to play the guitar, and is a huge fan of The Inspiral Carpets. Switching to bass guitar, Jason joined Spudgun and was the force behind the group being brought up to date.

Andy Donovan: Drums and vocals.
Born in Ilford in Essex, Andy became interested in music at an early stage. Turning his attention to the drums he formed the band 'The obvious Wigs' with Jim Ferry. Andy has a passion for all types of music, from 'Guns & Roses' to 'The Cult', 'Go West' to 'The Jam'. However his real influence is Keith Moon from The Who.

James Park: organist.
Like Andy, James met Jim whilst working in Barking, and has various musical tastes ranging from Pink Floyd through to The Beatles.
