Wild Eyed,Wicked and Oblivious. The Band
Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious started as a three peice, three years ago. We are now up to seven.
​
It seems more members we have collected, the more fun and laughter. A bunch of musicians who have become friends through playing together.
The original three members, Mr Crow on Electronic wind instrument, and Vocals, Scary Jane on Guitar/Mandolin and Vocals, The Islhof on box bass. Have been joined by. Shane Zimbo guitar and vocals, Nigel the boiler on Cahon and Bongos, Krazy Karen on Vocals and Shantyman John on Accordian.
​
We play mostly original songs written by Pete, Jane, and Shane. Our themes and nature and life, love, or lack of it in Petes case, strange happenings and time travel through the steam powered ages.
We enjoy playing live, if we can make you happy, and sing along and dance, then we are happy. There is too much doom in the world, we try to be an antidote.
​​
Mr Crow
Mr Crow, the creative eccentric who has traveled down through time and history with strange songs tales of Victorian ladies, vampires, and other realities
He likes to get people singing along. Influeces are Jethro tull, Ian Dury, Gong.
Nigel
Our engineer, keeping the gas turbines going the heart beating and rhythms in the engine room thundering along. He brings the power and steady energy that keeps us sailing.
​
Scary Jane
The shortest member of the band, but don't be deceived. Jane plays a 12 string guitar that is as big as she is and responsible for the upbeat rhythms, lead vocals and some of the song writing.
She grew up in salt mining village
Mr Crow calls her the glue, the dynamic energy who keeps them all together and on course.
Jane also writes the songs about Rebellion, and nature. Influences are Cockney Rebel, Hazel o connor and Bears Den.
John.
John appeared beside us on stage one evening, and has been there ever since. He plays Accordian that has a default mode of sea shanty. We have worked hard to help him get it to play other sort of music.
Islhoff
The mad inventor, of the one string box bass... one of his many home made instruments. When he vanishes into the garage...something strange always appears, he has lots of hats . Music inluences....Welsh Folk Music, Bowie
Shane
Where he comes from, other than knowing he lives in LLanelli, is mysterious.....he may have time traveled, he may at one point been a Victorian Chimney sweep, or ridden horses across the plains of Africa. without him the guitar rhythms would not be so dynamic...
Karen
Karen brings the laughter and vocals, she drew attention to herself by dancing at a gig, and was converted on the spot.
