If it wasn't for the fact that Chris was the frontman of Baby Chaos, I'm sure there are one or two other professions he could or would take up. Top of the list would be professional footballer. This is a passion of his to the point that it gives him amazing powers of recovery. Namely, when too hung over to soundcheck, someone only has to suggest a game of 5-a-side and he will leap up and sprint out of the building yelling "NETS" at the top of his voice, miraculously cured. You've never seen anything like it! He is the star striker for his local pub, Sunday morning team.

He is also a budding actor and the boy certainly knows how to 'exude' in front of a camera. In actual fact he has turned down several offers due to band commitments but who knows? In the future? "Chris Gordon is back....They took away his football. This time its personal."

You may also like to know that our singsmith is something of an artist. Gen was completely taken aback when he saw some of Chris' oil paintings. Chris offered one to the drummer to hang in his house. ("I didn't say they were that good" he was heard muttering). He'd love to setup his own recording studio one day and get into producing. Is there no end of what he can do? Obviously after the band's colossal success in America, please.

GRANT McFARLANE Guitar and backing vocals

There is one word that springs to mind when you think of Grant, well quite a few actually but not that many that are printable, but the one I'm going to use is....style. Or rather a style that is unique to him. The world exists and Grant is in it but the two don't meet that often. Grant seems to have a sense of time all to himself he is rarely punctual as you and I might be and no matter how infuriating this can be to the others it is like water off a ducks back to him. It is not uncommon for him to arrive on stage during the second or third song, as if nothing was wrong. He never seems to get worked up about anything, never loses his temper, sleeps when everyone else is awake and has a dress sense that is, what shall I say, different.

Funnily enough whenever out shopping you will always be able to find clothes that only Grant would wear, I can't explain it better than that. You might not get anything for yourself but he'd have found loads. He shares with Chris a passion for football but supports the other Glasgow team, Celtic. (Chris is the Rangers man) They can oft be heard in heated discussion over who is best, and naturally neither of them is wrong.

He seems the most unlikely person to be a Rock God but, by crikey, put a guitar on the boy and you'd wish you hadn't (only joking!!). The boy can play and sing too although Gen will probably have something to say about that. ("I have no comment at this time" says Gen).

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen of the net, Grant McFarlane

BOBBY DUNN Bass Guitar

Formerly the unfittest member of Baby Chaos and proud of it he has turned over a new leaf with the discovery of snowboarding. Bobby hates football as much as Chris and Grant love it and never joins in any kick abouts on tour, so for him to discover a physical activity that he enjoyed, other than a bedroom one, was a real surprise to everyone and quite a shock to Bobby who found he could actually do it.

Weekends have taken on a whole new light for him now. In the past, Saturday nights were sacred, special things to Bobby; getting totally messed up on drink and a few other unmentionables was his raison d’être, but now the lure of the snow on Sunday mornings has changed all that Well, almost. Before, the Sensation of Sleep. Now, the Sensation of the Slopes.

Bobby is also the most particular out of the band when it comes to food. In foreign climates you can rest assured that he will have brought along all his favourite munchies from home. Tins of this and that seem to materialise from everywhere and he can often be heard muttering his approval on the tour bus, standing expectantly in front of the microwave.

Quite how he will survive in America without his Coco Pops and spaghetti shapes for 6 months, we don't know. He'll certainly need a huge bag of survival rations. I'm sure he's already contacted the Red Cross just in case.

GEN MATTHEWS Drums

The new drumming thing and now the old boy of the band much to Bobby's relief. But he still knows how to ROCK!! As you may know, Gen left Jesus Jones at the end of '96 having grown tired of their prolonged inactivity. (4 years between albums proved too much).

Been there, seen it, done it, but wants to do it all again, Gen has become the fatherly figure to the youngsters in the band for whom it is all so exciting. "I remember a time when..." shut up will you, old man. He is really enjoying life with Chaos having had a taste of the band when he sat in for a sick Davy on the band's first U.S. Tour in the summer of '95. Can't wait to get back on the road and is raring to get to America for the promotion of "Love Your Self Abuse".

He has recently got into snowboarding with veteran Bobby and one of the advantages of being in a Scottish band is that the snow, what little there is, isn't too far away. He is also the biker of the band but having recently had his bike stolen, (a beautiful Honda CBR6OO), he is back on his bicycle.

Gen's wife Monica is expecting their first child; due in late May, thus proving that he is not only the oldest but also the most fertile in the band. It looks like being quite a year for the young(ish) drumming fellow.

Drums, bikes, playstation, and having a good time all the time. Yeh, that about sums him up.

Gen - an introduction

NIC GORDON Manager

The governor and fellow partner in crime, Nic is the perfect choice for band manager as he is a stickler for detail and absolutely will not settle for second best. This philosophy carries over into everyday life and gives Nic a strong competitive spirit. He hates to lose! The great organiser, he is forever putting together things for the guys to do outside band duties like Go Karting, Tennis, Badminton, Paintballing, etc., but if you beat him, oh dear look out. You'll find yourself having to write band member biographies for the web site Arf!Arf!

Nic is also completely tee total, which on tour is a blessing as when all is falling apart around him there's a voice of sanity shouting "Get on the bus now or you're on your own!" Everyone would love to see him lose it just once but it'll never happen.

He is also a total techno head and I'm not talking about music. Technology rules for Nic. His office looks like NASA control. He is gadget man and reads up avidly on new developments in this field. On tour he wears what looks like Batman's utility belt around his waist. None of us know exactly what he's carrying in it and I'm sure there's a super hero under that "guy next door" exterior, waiting to get out. I wonder what he looks like in lycra. Now there's a thought.

Hi,
I hope you are finding these pages interesting, informative and entertaining. I have spent quite a lot of time putting it all together and making sure the band give me all the stuff they write for it. I have only had an Internet account since the summer of '95 and this is my first attempt at writing HTML. It is my intention to not only keep the text and pictures as up-to-date as possible, but to add other features to the page like, CD Link, forms, animation's, etc. The thing is, I've always got "shitpiles" to do, so if you write to me with ideas and encouragement, that will help me to focus on the things you think are the most important or useful.
While I have been looking around other sites on the Web, I have been very annoyed at the people who use massive graphics on their site's. For me, the information must be fast to download, while still keeping the pages looking nice and being easy to read. The important thing is content. It's the three C's.......content, content, content. Other people don't realise that most people are using a 14.4 or 28.8 modem to access the pages.
All the best.
Nic.

DAVY GREENWOOD Ex-Drums

Obviously nick-named Greeny but also referred to as Grungey. He is a Mini driving, sixties worshipping, shandy drinking, ex-salesman who's strange mix of boy next door civility and Don Juan de Marco like charm often earn him the accolade of friendliest band member. Greeny collapsed in Philadelphia during our U.S. tour with Elastica in 1995, which forced him into a three month exodus from all band activities. This was met with complete shock from the rest of us as the very thought of having to replace him or anyone in the group is not an idea we entertain with anything but disdain.

Although Davy did a stormin' tour of France with us in November '95 and did several other gigs with us, he suffered a recurrance of what happend in America and as a result made the desicion to leave the band. His last gig with us was at the Phoenix Festival '96. This was a good gig in a very, very hot tent. It was also a very emotional gig as we all realised that this was it, this would be that last time that we would be able to look round and see Davy behind the drum kit.

The good news is that Davy is feeling great and now has a new job working for Guiness.
