Where you Wig Out
"An indie dance rock band with the aim to be where you are when you wear your and/or where you Wig Out"
Jamie Pickernell AKA Duffty Baker has a degree in Boganology and a master's in tongue in cheek and flippin' the bird. His song themes range from seal lions to ride-on lawnmowers to leaving his mum in a local rest home.
As a teenager of the late 70's the popular music was either disco or punk and new wave. The latter providing more depth for his curious soul to explore. His musical taste has mellowed and broadened since then but not the punk ethic that anyone can create music. He believes that the songs and stories of one's own local culture and environs are where it's at.
