| The man with the four strings, Mr. Steven Andrew Bailey, better know simply as Bail’s received a message over MySpace one afternoon from an old school chum – Scott – asking him if he ever picked up his bass and if so would he like to jam with a couple of local hoodlums? "Why the hell not?" was his reply, and Last Anthem as you know it today came into being.
Taking over bass duties from Scott himself (something Chapper’s has never really come to terms with, as he pinches Bailey’s bass whenever the opportunity arises for some low end mischief) Bail’s brought a much needed injection of urgency into the band, earning himself the nicknames ‘Thunderfingers’ (A certain Mr.Entwhistle may have something to say about that) ‘The Warhead’ or the much used and the boys real favourite, ‘Tosser’. Despite being a competent musician, one thing the guys will NEVER give to Bail’s is a microphone of his very own. He’s been a good boy all year and asked Father Christmas for one two years running, but to no avail – because if its one thing this man is incapable of, its holding a note with the vocal chords. It should be noted, however, that rumours of Nick commenting "He sounds like a cat in extreme pain" when Bail’s joins in on The Beatles classic ‘Twist & Shout’ are totally unfounded – even though Nick swears he says it on a regular basis. Drawing his influences from quite frankly all over the bloody place, Bail’s cites Bernard Edwards, Duff Mckagen, Jaco Pastorius, Vistor Wooten, John Deacon, Jerry Jemmott and the aforementioned John Entwhistle as the guys he tries (and fails!) to emulate. Well, he’s got the Jaco Pastorius chicken dance (Or the ‘Bailey Bop’ as he likes to call It, much to the amusement of all present) down to a T, but apart from that he’s nowhere near! As well as being the Bassman in Last Anthem, Bail’s also takes care of most of the bands bookings, dates etc so if you want to hire this shifty lot, he’s the man to speak to. |
