About Maximum Roach
DARKER THAN TOAST MAXIMUM ROACH Probably the greatest unsigned band of all time. Maximum Roach rocked the UK the US, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Turkey without the aid of a record deal just word of mouth and with good humour. In the space of 7 years: 5 bass players, 3 guitarists, 2 singers and a drummer playing a truly original hybrid of drum 'n' bass rockabilly. Formed by Noko, Kodish and Mary Byker and soon to be bum rushed by Harry K, with Felix Howard, Sarah Corina and finally Kenny Cougar on bass to complete the first incarnation. Lineup MK2 happened when Noko jumped ship and was replaced firstly by Perry Ap Gwynned on guitar and Cougar being relieved of the bass by Rej brother of Perry. Mk 3 The next shift in personel was the arrival of Malte Hagmeister on guitar to take on the mantle of the keeper of the Riff from the departed Perry and Mickey Cusick on Bass replacing Rej. If thats all not complicated enough Noko triumphantly returned and with a brief name change to "The Jungle" before finally settling on the original and best name of MAXIMUM ROACH. The Roach will never be tamed, the Roach will rise again, Vive le Roach!!!!!!!!!! NOKO - Master of the Riff KODISH - Keeper of the Beat HARRY K - Hands on decks and MC MARY BYKER - Gobshite MICKEY CUSICK - The Low End More Info: http://www.myspace.com/maximumroach
