Bass player was Chris Toms, passed away October, 2010. He joined a musical project with myself and my daughter in 2008, co-wrote some material. Was a great friend at the time, generous to a fault and a very unique player, his lines oozed punk/pop fusion! Diagnosed with liver cancer early 2010. Miss him to this day. RIP Chris!
@@BreedersSyndicate I had their entire singles pack release from mid 80's, saw them live numerous times. First bass player co-wrote material with us just before he passed in 2010, one of the genuine good guys, Christopher Toms. RU-vid Fun Loving Days Drop Bears band. Cheers
@@grimlyfiendish5579 From our conversations, under 2 years, there was a "Kiwi conspiracy" with new members as Chris called it, it went political and he left. From memory he wrote Domestic Dilemma.
I miss Chris Cross aka Chris Toms sadly passed like Jim Bedhog Kelpies and the rest of the inner city 80s bands Soggy Porridge Chaos etc the Grand hotel The Civic Chequers Kardomah cafe Frenchs cafe Strawberry Hills hotel and all the rest best Sydney music era
We fell in love from the moment our eyes met, across a smokey Trade Union Club room. He respected me so much and I in turn, I am grateful for him. Chris still visits me when I close my eyes, and we laugh, smile, with that wry grin he has, and you know he’s hiding it, but it’s there. We sit together quietly, like we did. I see him standing there in my living room, just being him. We had a simple love that kept us sane. Everyone was against us being together and I was warned to stay away, but, love prevailed. And my family warmed up to him, even with the issues that were there, and they held him under their wings to help him launch into a clean life, way after I had left. He gave me adventure and security and, a codependence I had to shake to stay alive, even though I still loved him, I just had to go so he would make the moves he needed to, to stay alive and thrive. And he did. Like I knew he would. However. It was a pure relationship. And inspiring. Chris taught me so much, and protected me even when he was harming himself. I’ve never felt so loved by a man. He loved everyone and he was charismatic. He had ‘swag’ as they say now although he’d not like that term for sure. I thank him for the moments we shared in our love and lives. He is a part of my heart that I carry with me today. God bless x
