Robbie Lee began his talented journey on the ole geetar at the tender age of 12 playing in the local school band, stuck in the corner sat on a practice amp with his Columbus Semi-Acoustic that he had bought for him for Christmas (Bless!!!!). He tried his luck with a little rock band that him and some mates set up but was fed up with competing with one of the members for the lead guitar spot (He lost anyway cos the other bloke was better). After trying his luck by doing a few gigs with his dad he got himself involved in other acts like Midnight Walk, Black Rain, a little stint as a soloist before starting Reach Out, Back 2 Beat, another little stint on his own before starting this duo. His influences include the likes of Beatles, Eagles, Dire Straits, Busted, McFly and Green Day. His main duties within the duo is Lead/Rhythm Guitar and main Vocals, also drum and bass sequencing.

Gary, the other bloke is the whizzkid of the duo, recieves the emails of the drum and bass from Robbie and sorts out the mess he made lol. Also sorts out the sound checks and the mixing cos Robbie aint got a clue. Gary O' is well known as a top DJ/KJ in the area and an avid Elvis/Stevie Ray Vaughn fan. Has played his part in the recent reformation of Wayne Tulsa and the Satellites which proved quite popluar at the time. Knows his stuff and is quite well known in all circles.
The Sidekix act mainly consists of 3 x 45 min spots with a solo spot from each member during the first 2 spots. The last spot consists of mainly guitar work and singalong ad lib material to keep the crowd until the last number. Some of the songs performed by the Sidekix include American Idiot, I fought the law, Wonderful Tonight, Apache, Runaway, Take it easy, Obviously, Mustang Sally, Ghost in my house, The Snake and many many more....
