Any Ideas?

[edit]

Deadpan; a British based alternate rock band from Carleton, Blackpool, was formed by Warburton and a school friend Rob Williams. The band has gone through many changes in it's short existence, these include two name changes (Originally Static Guns, the band became Any Ideas?, before finally becoming Deadpan and then returned to Any Ideas?) and seven line up changes: 2 vocalists; 3 drummers and 2 rythmn guitarists The original line up (Static Guns) was Williams (guitar), Warburton (bass), Sam Lee (rhythm guitar) and Ash Wilkinson (drums) and no vocalist. Lee was soon dropped because of differences with Williams. The band disbanded soon after.

The following year Static Guns reformed as Any Ideas? with the line up of; Hannah Orchard (vocals), Williams (guitar), Warburton (bass) and Wilkinson (drums). However, due to 'artistic differences', this time with Warburton, Orchard left the band. Another line up change; this time Wilkinson left as drummer and rejoined as rythmn guitarist so the new line up read; Charlie Seare (vocals), Williams (guitar), Warburton (bass), Wilkinson (rhythm guitar) and Dec Clarke (drums). The band would remain like this through most of 2010 and even performed a live set in Williams' native Carleton. However ,due to artistic differences between Williams, Warburton and Clarke and Wilkinson and Seare, the latter two left the band. Toby Gratrix was brought in as Wilkinson's replacement and Williams and Warburton took over vocal duties. This line up lasted about a month. Before Wilkinson's new band, Red housE, took Clarke as their drummer. Any Ideas? then disbanded.

In an attempt to assist his friend (who was having personal problems), Warburton contacted rhythm guitarist, Toby Gratrix and they convinced Williams to restart the band under the name Deadpan. The first line was; Williams (vocals/guitar), Warburton (vocals/bass), Gratrix (rythmn guitar and Jack Shuttleworth (drums). However, for reasons unknown. Shuttleworth soon left. In the last weeks of 2010, the final line up change to date occured, with Simon Lynch being brought as drummer. So the current line up is; Williams (vocals/guitar), Warburton (bass/vocals), Gratrix (rhythm guitar) and Lynch (drums). Deadpan has since disbanded and went on a short hiatus before being reformed as Any Ideas? with the 'Classic' line up of Seare, Clarke, Williams, Warburton and Wilkinson.
