Special Patrol
Biography
Special Patrol is a band that has been around since the beginning of time. Or at least since Rob (drums) and Myles (guitar/vocals) met in their year two classroom. Even though they did not pick up a musical instrument until the ninth grade they had formed the Special Patrol ideal.
Through high school they spent weekends experimenting with booze and recording in a variety of houses, beach houses and garages around Adelaide with friends (Tom, Chris, Russy, Sqirrel, Tunas, Ted, Sharn, Simon, Hooves at different times and all with different talents) that would drift in and out of the band for the next few years. Some of these recordings (with Chris Vallejo) were put onto CD and sold at gigs and would be know as Lead Pipe Dreams (LP), Little Man (EP), and Chin Up (EP). They played their first gigs, very badly, in hotels well before they were legally allowed to be on the premises.... mind you not many kids at these early shows were of legal drinking age.
