WHO ARE THE LONGSHOTS?? SY PINKEYE - This baby-faced guitar wielding whirlwind is the frontman, guitarist, lead vocalist and mastermind behind The Longshots. 5' 8'' of adrenaline overdosed attitude that could easily be the bastard child of any 70's Punk Icon. Energetic, enthralling and fueled on alcohol alone, he not so much plays his guitar but wrestles it into submission while furiously spinning, spitting, gurning and grinning his way through each and every show.

DEANY DEAN - They say that he was cloned in a laboratory using advanced gene-splicing techniques. That scientists tried to create the perfect percussionist. Half drummer, half genius, a miracle of genetics that would be made possible using D.N.A from Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawkins and Animal from the Muppets. Although the experiment failed something else was created. An Abomination, A Jekyll and Hyde, a Rock & Roll Frankenstein that by day works in a top secret lab, but by night plays the drums, drinks and drools.
Nij - Easily mistaken for the missing link between man and ape, this Neanderthal is bassist and personal security for The Longshots. With an estimated I.Q of 40 his sub-normal intelligence makes him an ideal candidate for the job. So far Nij has proved to be almost unstoppable, after being stabbed, burned, beaten, run over and the cause of many traffic accidents, somehow this evolutionary throwback manages to keep on going. His pastimes aside from playing bass are knuckle dragging and clubbing, literally.
Summer 2002 in the sleepy town of Leeds, West Yorkshire. The Longshots formed and made a pact to inseminate peoples ears with their unique brand of Punk Injected Rock'n'Roll.
