Drawing immediate success and exposure thanks to Christian
O'Connell's 2006 World Cup Anthem competition - ultimately coming 4th with "Back of the Net", the band enjoyed
more popularity than they could have ever imagined, with live interviews and airplay on Virgin Radio

2009: Sees the band halfway through album number two tentatively titled "THE BIG WOW". But as with all working
titles - this is subject to change! (Updates on "Ze Big Wow in the making!" page.)
So far fifteen songs have been demoed including; 'Shambollica', 'All Hands on Deck', 'Dude the Obscure'
and 'Peer Pressure Sucks You In' - which you can hear on the players below.
"The BIG WOW" is expected
to be finished in time for January 2010, which will coincide with Beavis Maplin's first live shows - more about which
later!
