Aleks and the Ramps

Aleks and the Ramps are a Melbourne five-piece, spilling out a stew of surreal, banjo-driven indie-pop - with hints of psychedelia, doo-wop and even bossa nova. Led by Aleks' banjo and his acerbic lyrics, the crew is filled out by bassist <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Denim+Owl" class="bbcode_artist">Denim Owl</a>, guitarist Flying Simon, and musical nomad Extreme Wheeze (who roams about the stage, playing any instrument in his path). The band, mid-2007, also included dancing drummer Captain Rad - who moved to Perth, leaving a vacancy, which was filled by Black Wasp.
