− | Originally called ''Sam'', and then ''Slow Learner'', before settling upon the moniker [[Vetox]], the core members were [[GJB]], [[Tonamu]] and [[Dan Duran]], on guitar, bass and guitar/vocals respectively. The drum stool was filled at first by Natalie (who went on to play for the [[Shrugs]]), then Simon, and finally, [[Bregiz]].

− | During their existence, Vetox played not only a wide array of original material penned by [[Dan Duran]] and [[GJB]], but also covers of songs originally by Cyndi Lauper ('SheBop') and the Datsuns ('Harmonic Generator'). They were best described as a mix between Nirvana, the Dandy Warhols and Queens of the Stone Age on a good day, and second-rate Joy Division copyists on a bad.
