Breaking News: The Fab Four becomes Five

"During the last couple of weeks roumours leaked from the Mutiny Headquarters that a fifth character have been spotted attending band rehersals. At the bands shakedown on last night Zoom semi-finals, shocked fans witnessed a heavily fringed, tambourine shaking, cowbell banging, flute blowing figure with a moustache, sing the most impressing harmony vocals heard north of "Stadt" since 1965. The classy dressed gentleman also proved to be a madman onstage, making an increadible inpact on a bedazzled audience, with some fine moves and first class footstompin`. Thus getting no actual confirmation from the bands spokesman at the time, one of our skilled photographers managed to take a rare shot of this obscure new player backstage after the show

Confronted with this, the band leader gave a latenight comment after the show on this exiting band expandation: "We only took him in cos of the looks. With that hair, and that moustache, you can`t go wrong, can you? And he turned out to be a nasty tambourine player, and a damned fine harmony singer, didn`t he? Don`t know his name though, calls himself MoniTore, whatever that means.."

Only time will tell if this if this is the new secret weapon that will finally give The Smell of Mutiny the upper hand batteling for garage-beat stardom.
