| − | In about 1989 Paul Tregilgas auditioned for [[Cygnet Committee]] and was rejected, which soon became something of an in-joke as he went on to become one of Hamilton's most respected drummers in the early 1990s, in various dark and moody alternative bands like [[The Haunting]] (1990-1992), [[Zangiacomo's Eastern Tour]] (1990-1991), [[A Crown Of Wild Myrtles]] (1991-1993), [[Hapukalypse Now]], and its side-project [[Big Audio Laxative]] (1992-1994).<br><br>

| − | | + | |
| − | It was in these bands that "Paul T", which he became more commonly known as on account of local papers and various bands' liner-notes always spelling 'Tregilgas' incorrectly, began a long association with bassist [[Paul Oakley]]; both Oakley and Paul T were members of [[Zangiacomo's Eastern Tour]] and [[Hapukalypse Now]]. From these circles Paul T and Oakley knew [[Stan Jagger]], another long-term collaborator, who was at this time a member of the folk/blues inflected [[King Biscuit]]. In 1992, Paul T and Paul Oakley joined Stan in King Biscuit. All three remained in King Biscuit until about 1995.<br><br>

| − | Around 1995, Paul T, Oakley and Jagger were persuaded by former [[Avant Garbage]] frontman [[Dominic Worthington]] to form self-proclaimed "ROCK'N'ROLL" covers band [[Johnny Fist]]; who have (bizarrely) now been in existence for over a decade. From 1995-1996 Paul T was also the drummer in the short lived, but hugely popular, [[Gas]]. <br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In 1996 Tregilgas, Oakley and Jagger teamed up with ex-[[The Nerve|Nerve]] frontman [[Jamie Stone]] to form a more serious indie-rock originals project, but could not agree amongst themselves whether or not to call their new band ''Mother Trucker'' or ''Father Trucker''. They ultimately settled for [[Trucker]]. Trucker were formed in 1996, and they came second overall in that years [[Battle of the Bands 1996|Battle of the Bands]]. Paul T was with Trucker until about 2000, when he was briefly replaced by [[Terry Edwards]] prior to Trucker's split in 2001. <br><br>

| − | | + | |
| − | Between 1999 and 2001, Paul T was the drummer for [[Hell's Belles and the Hamiltones]], with then partner [[Maria Eaton]], and also including [[Stan Jagger]]. In 2000 Paul T also became the drummer for the popular live ska/reggae outfit [[Cosmic Ska Child]], with former members of [[Boil Up]] and [[Tsunami Band]] (among others). CSC have continued up to the present-date, with Tregilgas as their drummer. Around the same time he also joined [[Alla Zingaro]], described as "Gypsy music", who remained together until about 2005.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In 2004 [[Trucker]] released the posthumous EP ''[[Wasted In Heaven EP|Wasted In Heaven]]'' and reformed briefly to play shows featuring all former lineups of the band. By this time Tregilgas had also become a member of the abstract [[Sausuage]], and played briefly for [[Rose Petals and Confetti]] under the name of 'Tregiz' as a stand-in for Nathan '[[Bregiz]]' Bregmen. <br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | From early 2005 - present, Paul T, Paul Oakley, and Stan Jagger formed the live line-up for the newly reincarnated [[Disjecta Membra]] when project mainstay [[Michel]] returned to Hamilton after several years. In March 2005, Paul joined [[The Shrugs]] following the departure of drummer [[Natalie McKelvey]]. The Shrugs have become Paul T's primary focus, touring extensively with them ever since the release of their ''[[An Awkward Silence]]'' LP.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the mid-late 2000s Paul T remains a member of [[The Shrugs]], [[Johnny Fist]], [[Cosmic Ska Child]] and [[Disjecta Membra]]. He is also a keen collector of obscure Hamilton recordings, and an avid astrologer. He has developed a website, [[Yetiboil Website|Yetiboil]], that documents the history of his own bands and is a repository for Hamilton music recordings from the 1980s to the present.
