This page is dedicated to all the peeps who help to keep us going in one way or another, if I've missed you off please let me know!
Much like gary-boy favourites "so solid crew", cheesegrater are not just made up of us five members(well technically we are but nevermind), there is also a large family or "crew" which supports and aids us in many different ways!
Vicki Aiken the closest thing we have to a manager and also the person who first thought up the name cheesegrater (at least I think she was?) Over the time we've been together she has helped cheesegrater out with many things, including helping with rehearshals, going to SN sounds meetings, selling cider at gigs and getting revolution records to have cheesegrater flyers on the counter! She also helps by giving us (mostly) metaphorical kicks up the backside whenever we are slacking off! So cheers vix, you are the person most likely to get cheesegrater to start actually being good and we love ya for it!
Boast our current official number one fan who replaced Ceg after Ceg formed Acidseed and therefore forfeited his number one fan status by playing in another band(or something)! Boast can be seen at most Cheesegrater gigs jumping round like an escaped mental patient, he also does a very good job of publicising gigs for us by standing on street corners waving a bell and shouting about us! plus he also acts as a kinda mosh pit magnet by running around and trying to get everyone dancing to our "music"! So if you see him around, give him a pat on his cheesegrater signed coat and say "well done Boast! keep up the good work!" then turn and run before he has a chance to attack you! remember, maintain eye contact at all times!
Rupert
ru is the subject of one of our songs (ruperts tale) and thats why hes on this page! He is also a bit of a regular at our gigs and can rarely be seen out of the pit during our set...except for when cheap cider lures him away of course! you have to get your prioritys right sometimes....cheap cider or cheesegrater? beer or getting head? Rupert is a man with his head well screwed on! He is also a very bad influence on certain cheeses and has been seen leading the odd member off down the pub before a gig and offering copious amounts of cheap cider around! tut tut! naughty Ru! Oh yeah and he is also the reserve drummer for when Al dont turn up to gigs!
The Mobile Cheesegrater Pit
a bit like a nomadic tribe, the cheesegrater pit follow us around to our gigs and attempt to hurt each other while jumping around as much as possible! Fuel them up with alcohol before the gig and theyll dance tirelessly supporting pretty much any band on stage as long as they're loud! Currently the pit features the likes of Rupert, Boast, Bogey, Sweetpea, Ceg, Hamish, Milo and a few others! Let me know if I've missed you off the list!
Mark Hewitt
Not many people know this but old Markio Englasias was actually one of the founding members of cheesegrater and played lead guitar(the only instrument that can be heard) on the now legendary "how fat is your monkey?" recording! This, however, was his only musical contribution to the band and indeed it was also the only time he has ever peformed with cheesegrater(the other member on the recording being Stebbs) to date! Nowadays he helps us out at gigs by doing all the sound and stuff although technically thats for all the bands playing, we like to think of him as a member of the cheesegrater family simply for old times sake!
mr_spock4546@hotmail.com
This is the email of the guy who set up the first official cheesegrater fansite, his true identity is currently unknown and frankly we want to keep it that way! Hes seems to be scarily obsessed with the band and thinks that he is good friends with us or something! But ummm...thanx anyway...whoever you are! If anyone can help us discover the identity of the mystery nerd then give us an email....as for the site address its:
www.cheesegraterfan.warp0.com
Ceg
The original number one fan of cheesegrater and a great bloke too! plans to have Ceg and Boast fight a battle to the death for the number one cheesegrater fan status are all lies...but it would be funny wouldnt it! Anyways we're not really sure wether he is currently our number one fan or not, as technically he is in our sister band acidseed and therefore more of a fellow music player than a fan but i feel that perhaps Ceg and Boast should be joint number one fans...maybe it would be like having a baby, ceg could have us at the weekend and Boast during the week! or something like that!
Kezery
Kerry is the official cheesegrater model and can be seen on the cheesegrater shopping network strutting her stuff! She is also a regular at cheesegrater gigs! In her spare time she enjoys drinking copious amounts of vodka and watching dirty dancing over and over again in a very girly fashion! A long time drinking partner of cheesegrater frontman, Stebbs, she can usually be found face down in a ditch mumbling Josie and the pussycats lyrics while chugging vodka and orange from a kiddies drink flask! She currently owns her own business "smurf-o-matic" which is an escort agency for smurfs, unfortunately takings for the first quarter have been slim although the addition of papa smurf to the staff list is hoped to up business substantially!
