...something really new to do." Hefner's drummer and guitarist are pursuing solo projects, while Hayman and bassist John Morrison are the French. Why call a band the French? Hayman, who grew up in Essex, explains that due to the antipathy his countrymen have for their neighbors across the Channel, "it's a kind of litmus test of my audience." His audience - somewhere between big cult and the bottom of the pop charts - will be relieved to discover that the essence of Hefner is still there: the realization that the stupid experiences we all have can be the building blocks...
