Justine

 

 

Justine has played with Space Cadets, Cones of Silence, Even As We Speak, Marzipan Nipples, The Bloodnuts and the Nick Johns Band, but says the fire-hose delivery of the Generators is what she really loves.

 

Career highlights, before the present, of  course, were playing the Kardomah Cafe in Kings Cross supporting the Painters and Dockers (the band, not the union) with the Bloodnuts, an all red-haired band, and playing to a totally packed Petersham Inn, in Even As We Speak, supporting New Zealand cult band The Clean.

 

Justine’s first drumkit was sold in September 1990 to raise funds to go to England. The next kit was not bought until November 2007 and after six months of hard lessons and practice, joined The Generators in May 2008. Justine is now preparing the media release for world domination tour, as during the day she is a mild mannered reporter with the local paper.

 

 

 

Mick

 

Lead Vocalist Mick has been a karaoke compere for many years, where he learnt his on-stage manner, and has therefore also learnt how to follow the bouncing ball. Mick can be found anywhere from the stage, to the bar, to the nearest female lap, to the footpath outside, to the gents or even the ladies’ during a gig due to his favourite wireless mic!

 

His greatest party tricks are pretend harmonica, his expertise on the cowbell and Unchained Melody.

 

 

 

 

 

Wazza

 

Wazza plays bass with the Generators, but has previously spent many years as a sax player. The bass is actually easier on his lips! Previously with Over the Edge, named for his penchant for disappearing over cliff-tops for entertainment, Wazza now keeps his feet planted firmly on the ground and his head some 2 meters higher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rick

 

 Rick’s musical career stretches back to the days of his high school rock band and teenage garage bands playing everything from Smoke on the Water to Wipeout - and let’s not forget Stairway to Heaven!!!. More recently Rick has played with Shadowplay doing originals, and now does covers with us! Rick just can’t keep away from music! He also dabbles in the keyboard and blues harp. Pretends to sing......Teaches guitar part time. Influences are Lennon, Dylan, all of Aussie Rock, The Who, Stones, Beatles (best band in the world to date, says Rick!) but he enjoys most styles and genres.

 

 

 

 

Michael

 

Guitar, can’t sing for shit. Played in a no-name school garage band 1969-1970. Mucked around in a folk trio for a year or two afterwards. Discovered the 12-string guitar and therefore did nothing for the next 10 years. Found the major and minor Pentatonic scales one night in 1982, after going down to the Crossroads (a pub near Liverpool, NSW, Oz). Learnt a few Chuck Berry riffs and has survived on them ever since. Computer analyst, former photographer, frustrated Volkswagen mechanic. Has managed to fool most of the people most of the time.

 

Michael has also played with Cop This!, Looking for Headlines, The Ian Francis Band (2 gigs –thanks Ian!), My Generation and The Get Wasted Band.

 

Influences are his friends Ian Francis and Greg Young, Berry, Fogerty, SRV, Thorogood, Hendrix, Clapton, Bo Diddelly, and his big sister’s reel to reel tape recordings off the radio in the mid sixties.
