Shooting At Unarmed Men is the music project of former Mclusky member Jon Chapple (vocals/guitar), Steve Morgan (drums), and Big Joan member Simon (bass). The original bassist for the band’s formal incarnation was King Alexander member Simon Alexander (bass/vocals), although the band had existed as a sporadical joke since circa 1999. Alexander also co-wrote the mclusky song “Chases”, from the mclusky Do Dallas album.

They released their first mini-album, Soon There Will Be…, on Too Pure Records, on 17th October 2005. The second, “Yes! Tinnitus!” was released on May 22nd 2006 - however, Chapple has since moved to Melbourne, Australia for two years (the band played their last gig in the Northern Hemisphere on April 16th 2006 at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach, where Chapple also sold most of his books, videos and some of his records).

Chapple recruited Melbourne two-piece The Cheats (Coops & Jules) to form the rythm section of the Southern Hemisphere franchise of Shooting At Unarmed Men, who played their first shows together in October 2006, at The Tote.

It is uncertain if Chapple will return to Cardiff.

Yes! Tinnitus!

I waited weeks to get "Triptych" in the mail from Too Pure. It was worth it.
