ABOUT US
Bullitt was started by Pete in 2007 via the Internet. Originally called ‘Dave’ from a reference from ‘A League of Gentlemen’. With various line ups Bullitt became ‘Bullitt’ in Dec 2008 with a settled and final line up of Pete on Drums, Jon on Lead guitar, Leigh on vocals, Lou on bass and Andy on rhythm guitar. On first meeting and conversation:- Jon:- “ So yeah Pete, defo interested dude…….. So you married and got kids and all that shit?” Leigh:- “So who’s into Biffy Clyro? I just love Biffy Clyro. Do you like Biffy Clyro? We have to do some Biffy Clyro” Lou:- (originally called herself Matt and pretended she was a bloke via e-mail) “So yeah, I’m a bass player but I’m not really a bloke, but I’m not one of those ‘Heavy Metal Heffers’ either. And I really can play the bass” Andy:- “No can’t do backing vocals me. Don’t want to.” ( and was nearly physically sick at the prospect of doing any Oasis tracks) Pete:- hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?!?!?!?! Ho Hum
