Shirtysomething was established in 2001 by two music industry chaps:

Frazer Craske was the bass guitarist with pagan thrash pioneers Sabbat. After the band split in the early 90's, he went into the printing business, and has built a reputation as one of the finest screen printers in the Midlands. His technical ability, perfectionism, and understanding of what makes a shirt "work", help us to achieve the best possible results for our clients. As does his apparent ability to work for 25 hours a day.His beard is inhabited by a family of badgers and an axe-wielding Nordic dwarf. He has recently started gigging again with Ravenscreed.

Rog Patterson has been pottering about in the music world since the dawn of time. A tour manager and sound engineer, he spent the 90's hanging around airports of the world with Skunk Anansie, Rage Against the Machine, Therapy?, Faith No More and many others. Realising (eventually) that if you're on a tour bus you're not in the pub, he came off the road (more or less) in 2001. He now devotes his managerial experience and incessant sarcasm to the running of Shirtysomething, largely because nobody seems to be willing to pay him to play cricket and drink beer. His "new" solo album is now 18 years late, but he still occasionally gigs as half of the ancient and eccentric acousto-proggy duo Twice Bitten, amongst other deeply obscure (and/or wholly imaginary) musical projects.
