The B+W shots below are of (from top to bott, left to right) Raffy, Adrian, Nathan and Dave during the original recordings of "Eden Rippit & The Seedy Underbelly", recorded (though not yet released) at Charlie's Lair (Shadey Grooves), Melb'n, in Feb 2001. Nuff respect to our official photographer and goon, Nathan Lain'e aka. frenchy. Mate, keep a look out for that photo of Raffy & Eden!

| Raffy "Yee-haw" Weidenfeld |
Raffy brings a myriad...no, a plethora of different styles to the Coaster mix. He grew up on a piano (which has, at times, made it difficult to get around) while feeding on a jazz-rich diet. As a singer, Raffy likes to stand in front of Jim Morrison posters and sing into 1950s style swing-time microphones. That's his style, baby.

| Adrian "groodie" Goodman & Nathan "Sinead O'" Richter |
Groodie brings a myriad, rather than a plethora, of styles. For a while now he's been loving his bass and he hopes that the love is mutual. He's always loved his 60s n 70s funk and has recently opened his arms to reggae and latin women.
Nato is half myriad, half plethora. He was breast-fed on great rock from the respective teets of jimi hendrix and jimmy page, and liked what he tasted. Since then his passion has only grown and his inspirations diversified. Nato is also prolific in Melbourne as DJ Nada dishing out some of his own wicked trance tunes. Nato slaps his electonic styles right onto the Coaster tablecloth.

| David "z" Zeimer |
Z is clearly plethora. He's the "excitement machine of the drum world" and brings an impressive versatility much needed in the Coaster unit. He uses a range of special drumming tools to help him fuse the styles of jazz and rock and come out unscathed. Go zeddy!
