Trace the Bass

God, this things' got a big head... Trace the Bass took over the position of Player/Manager in November 2002, after being promised she could stand in when Preston Hardwick fell over.

Her mind was heavily influenced at a young age by a band of misbegots known as SHY at the CHEMIST, and was SADly brought up with the notion that this was how normal music sounded.

"Dum dee dum dee dooo" Somehow, this didn't actually stop her from becoming an accomplished bass-player/guitarist, and rumour has it that Preston has already been 'working on her' to stand in for a few numbers so he can plunder the bar of Budweisers before Torchie gets a look in.

Best known for her work with Suffolk based band, "Cushtie", she soon realised it's much less grief being part of the audience rather than the band, and turned her musical talents to teaching youngsters 'Noisemaking', in the hope that the SAD influence she experienced can be avoided by the next generation.

"Anyone here heard of SAD at the CLINIC?" In fact, rumour has it that already some members of SAD believe her to be a Muddled & Skunky infiltrator, and are intent on creating even more pain to the gig-going public by doing more appearances in an effort to expose her.

She is an ardent football supporter (but we don't hold that against her) and recently applied for the job of managing Ipswich Town Football Club, but was judged as dangerous by the Chairman after she ran over two of his best players with her wheelchair. She will tell you herself that this was part of the reason she decided to hook up with these SAD old men that had influenced her early on, so she would know exactly where they are playing and can hand out SAD warning sheets to the audience as they arrive in an attempt at improving the public's health. Just recently at The Haven, Ipswich, she made a debut appearance with the band where she proved her ability to bring in more people than the Band themselves, to spend a whole evening on stage without falling over, and completing a whole two sets playing complicated bass lines without any cock-ups. We somehow think you'll be seeing more of her.... especially as Preston gets older and successively more drunker....
