my son is currently playing bass with his dad's band, which is pretty much just his dad and his dad's mate. his dad's mate is called bunf, and bunf is a super furry animal. i mentioned this new project to a few people and they got very excited so i thought i'd mention it here too. maybe you'd like to lend them your ears.
here is their soundcloud page:

and here is a blog about them by another mate of my son's dad. if you make it to the end of the thing without wanting to punch him (the author), i'll buy you a pint.
