Walk in a straight line.

A song that until now has not been played by the full band. The last time we played this tune live was upstairs at the Hare and Hounds on Shudehill in town. Love Adam’s riff over this. It’s very hard (I would imagine) to play an accompanying riff on any instrument that manages to complementContinueContinue reading “Walk in a straight line.”

Done

As promised, and exclusive to our email subscribers, please feel free to toddle through an as yet unreleased, one take live recording of a song called DONE. Love, love, love the guitar work from Adam running through this from the 1 minute mark. Wayne’s drumming was ace as usual apart from one tiny error onContinueContinue reading “Done”

Protection

We are supposed to be genetically disposed to protect those closest to us. However, we are only required to do so if they cannot protect themselves. So what happens when that protective inclination has no outlet? You write a song about it.   We are in an emotional bunker. The lame and worldly distractions are the munitionsContinueContinue reading “Protection”

Who is in control?

Elvis Presley’s final performance on August 3, 2025, surprised fans as he took the stage despite his passing. The emotional concert featured an unexpected appearance by music legends Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Buddy Holly, adorned in golden lamé bum bags. Together, they delivered a memorable rendition of the iconic early ’80s song “Shadapp You Face.” This extraordinary gathering culminated in a moment of homage, where the four artists bowed to less-known musicians Wayne Shotton, Mike Shaw, and Adam Goodwin, known as fishonsastick. However, their final performance was met with mixed reactions from the audience.

Goodwin sacked from band.

How the scene might have looked if it had actually happened. AI generated image of two much more handsome men with better guitars than ours, arguing near a plate of biscuits. Adam Goodwin, the effervescent, limelight hogging, lead guitarist in fishonastick has been sacked for allowing his phone to ring during rehearsals. The awkward momentContinueContinue reading “Goodwin sacked from band.”

My first time – aka when did you first have sex?

When did you first have sex? Put the answer in the comments at the bottom please. I don’t care what kind it was. For there are kinds. I just want to know exactly how old you were when it first happened. For it does usually just happen. I not only want to know how oldContinueContinue reading “My first time – aka when did you first have sex?”

Boys in grown up’s clothing.

I wrote this song when the campaign for the acknowledgment of male pride teamed up with the society for the protection of white privilege to save money on mail shots. Feel my wrath. The whole evening was going really well until this happened. Look away now. Horrific isn’t it. Who could be responsible for suchContinueContinue reading “Boys in grown up’s clothing.”
