here's a few highlights from our snorkelling history

our favourite line from a review:
“snorkel again give fans reason to jump out of their skin and parade naked down the street.” [sash kertes, rip it up, SA]
our weirdest punter #1: the lizard man of bacchus marsh
halfway thru the second set, the floor cleared and lizard man appeared, scooting around on all fours, tongue flicking in and out, doing the best damn gecko impersonation we've ever seen. then he went back to his beer and nobody said a word.
our videos:
part live and part animated, we've done one clip from each of our releases. and unless you regularly sat thru rage at 4am, you've probably never seen them - so we're working on downloadable versions for the cyber shack ... stay tuned!

our weirdest punter #2: jacko
a regular for a while, jacko used to dress in his best "beat it" gear, with a few unique touches (the toy soldiers glued to his shoulder pads was pretty cool) and he'd stand at the back and dance by himself. no fear, we salute you.
our favourite royalties:
all of them, of course, but particularly the $10.85 we got from portugal last year ... portugal?
our favourite reason for cutting a gig short:
when someone yelled out “the pub’s on fire”, we thought they were just gagging, but no! some bright bulb had decided to set the toilet roll in his cubicle alight - and panic ensued when he realised he’d locked himself in with the flames.
vehicles damaged or destroyed by band members:
1 x valiant sedan, 1 x holden sedan, 2 x toyota station wagons, 2 x 6x4 covered trailers, 1 x toyota tour bus ... and the pub we ran it into - don't ever let us drive your car.
