HOW DID YOUR NAME ORIGINATE?
After breaking down in our car we ended sleeping in it after a night out and was picked up by the AA in the morning on Portobello Road market happening in full swing, completely wrecked with empty cans of beer and fried chicken bones everywhere. Ad said to Alex we are like Adrenaline Animals Ad starting the name of Of Adrenaline and ending with animal Al Alex

WHERE WAS YOUR FIRST GIG AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE?
So Ad and Alex’s first gig was at the famous whisky a go go on holiday in LA we decided to get a session drummer for that gig and turned up at the venue asking if we could play two days later we had a call back saying they had a slot for us so we smashed the gig there. We booked in 10 gigs on our return in London with a session drummer still but obviously we were looking for a full time member. We met Mark just before we were about to do the tour with this session drummer but we sent Mark the set list and the first rehearsal was on Saturday and we played our first gig with him on the Tuesday at The Monarch in Camden. Mark then played the full tour and we formed Adrenaline Animals properly as a 3 piece !
