The two-year-old Exet- er and area based band is quickly making a name for themselves on the lo- cal music scene. They are booked solid this summer and are even scheduled to play two shows at the Zurich Bean Festival on Aug. 28. "We are known for hav- ing the biggest three piece sound around," said band founder and drummer Bob Stuckless. The band is completed by guitarist and lead singer Darryl Romphf and bass guitarist Cam Dougall who are the most recent additions to Roy's Garage. Romphf and Dougall, both recent grads of South Huron District High School, have been friends since public school and have been playing in bands together since Grade 8. Stuckless, an employee at Veri Trucking in Exet- Roy's Garage will be playing two shows at the Zurich Bean Festival on Aug. 28. From left, band members Bob Stuckless, Darryl Romphf and Cam Dougall. er, said he's also always been "in and out of bands." Once a week the band rehearses for three to five hours at Stuckless' house just outside of Ex- eter and their practice is beginning to pay off. While all three band members help to book gigs, Stuckless says the "word isgetting out" about Roy's Garage and people are actually call- ing them now. The trio say the fact they get along so well has helped them progress so quickly as a band.

It was a fun day! • e rules and we really re- spect each,.other," said Romphf. "It's easy to 'com- municate well with just three people," said Dou- gall. While the band hasn't recorded any music yet, Roy's Garage may be go- ing into the studio next year to work on a CD. "We play everything from Hendrix to the Hip and everything in be- tween," said Romphf. Stuckless added the band is always adding to their set list to keep it fresh. "It is always evolving," he said: "We are always up- dating our songs so us and our listeners don't get bored," Romphf said, who added the blues is their favourite music to play. The band is also work- ing on their own materi- al which they usually test out in small doses during live performances. Stuckless said the orig- inal band had a hard time coming up with a name and were going to go with just The Garage until their former bass player came up with their present name. Stuckless' nickname is Roy (because of his ten- dency to call . everyone Roy) and since the band has always rehearsed in his garage it just seemed natural.
