Introducing the Band Members…


MIKE AITOFI - DRUMS | VOCALS
The rhythmic powerhouse behind the kit and one of the voices that keeps our harmonies tight. When he’s not belting out tunes or driving the groove with his sticks, you’ll probably find him perfecting his golf swing. On stage, Mike’s energy is infectious; off stage, he’s just as happy chasing birdies on the green as he is chasing the perfect beat.


PHIL AITOFI - BASS | LEAD GUITAR | VOCALS
The band’s bass player and lead guitarist, effortlessly switching between low-end grooves and soaring riffs. Like his brother Mike, Phil also steps up on vocals—because one Aitofi voice just isn’t enough! When the brothers aren’t locking in on stage, you’ll probably find them locked in on the golf course, trading riffs for birdies and sibling banter. Phil’s mix of sharp musicianship and easy-going humour makes him as entertaining off-stage as he is in the spotlight.


NEHA GATE - LEAD | BASS GUITAR | VOCALS
Neha brings serious versatility to Them Lovely Rogues, trading between lead guitar and bass with effortless style. He’s the guy who can lock into a groove one moment and then tear into a solo that has everyone’s jaw dropping the next. On vocals, Neha adds another rich layer to the band’s harmonies, proving he’s more than just strings and frets. Off stage, his laid-back charm and sharp wit keep the crew in sync—especially when the Aitofi brothers get carried away with their golf talk!


CHRIS BRYANT - RHYTHM GUITAR | LEAD VOCALS
Chris Bryant is the voice out front and the steady hand behind the scenes. As lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, he keeps the melodies strong and the crowd singing along. Off stage, Chris is the band’s organiser-in-chief—juggling bookings, logistics, and the occasional bandmate banter with ease. Whether he’s strumming chords, belting out a classic, or steering the ship as manager, Chris makes sure Them Lovely Rogues stay in perfect tune both musically and professionally.
