Jester Acoustics

Originally starting as a group of friends wanting to start a band who knew they were not the best musicians but still wanted to have fun with it. But that failed... damn Morrissons and Mustafa stealing our bassist :P It then changed to guitar lessons from Hogie to Kyle. Which with awesome chemistry and a shit lot of practice has turned in to a little two piece acoustic band. Although we are still looking to develop back in to a full band its still dandy just being us two. Both of us playing Acoustics with singing from Hogie. We know we aren't the best around but tbh we don't care :D
