1) Drag is Darren Middleton on guitar and vocals. On drums is the band's co-founder, Mark McElligott, an old mate of Darren's and long-time member of the Finger's travelling party, plus a couple of buddies and excellent musos from the Brisbane scene: Sean Hartman on bass and Matt Murphy on keys.
Much of the creative core of Drag was developed in hotel rooms over the course of nearly a decade while out on the road -- Darren in his room writing songs, or with Mark putting down demos. Over the years, the pair worked up some 50 tracks.
