The Automatic Biography


There was Rob Hawkins, the latest in the fine tradition of the singing bass player. Now, he says the best thing about being in The Automatic is "never being bored, ever," but back then was having to contend with choosing his A-Levels, and settling on a second guitarist for the band. "It always turns into a fight."

The first guitarist was always going to be James Frost, a wide-eyed emo-boy and axe hero in waiting who, if we wasn't a hotly-tipped rock guitarist, would be a pro-golfer. He would rather be chased by a Mummy than a Skeleton because it would have poor eyesight. "I'm not a good runner," he says, but I reckon a Mummy would be a lot worse."

Completing the line-up was drummer Iwan Griffiths, who harbours dreams of opening a beach bar in Hawaii, is satisfied in The Automatic because he "gets free beer in exchange for playing with his mates", let alone royalties. He reckons Frankenstein was "a pussy."
