Instant Whip
Instant Whip: Tony, Wayne, Kev, Steve & Tracey
Steve Mixup leads his rock soul outfit, featuring Tony "Doggen" Foster and Kev Bales both of Spiritualized, Wayne Evans (Gaffa, The Last Pedestrians) and Tracey Beeby (The Ska's, Beeston Big Band), Mark Joseph (Old Nick Trading Company).
Another of Steve Mixup's hare-brained idea's. Working out the idea's with Tony Foster and then teaming up with Kev, Wayne and Tracey he likes to produce an older persons perspective on what's what. Steve Mixup has been dabbling with art and music for the past forty years occasionally rising above the parapet with a blast of sound, picture or a concoction of words. Working with many, it is this group he prefers for an old school real band feel. Guitarist Tony runs the Mouse House studio in Nottingham and both he and drummer Kev play in Spiritualized. Bass player Wayne's history can be traced back to 70's local heroes Gaffa and saxophonist Tracey plays in the Beeston Big band. Mark Joseph started playing in the late 1970's with Loose House and now plays with Old Nick Trading Company as well as producing solo works.
