David St. Hubbins

Since the release of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, and the band's subsequent, grotesquely abortive World Comeback Tour which collapsed in Honshu, Japan, St. Hubbins has kept a justifiably low profile. Having wed his longtime lady, designer Jeanine Pettibone, in 1986, the blonde singer/guitarist has settled into the Southern California lifestyle "big time" – the happy couple live in the fashionable Pomona area where Jeanine runs the noted new age boutique, Krystals 'n' Kandles, while hubby David coaches soccer for the local park commission. He also spends much of his spare time working with up-and-coming young rock bands, producing their "garage flavored" demos for his own Pettiwhip Productions. "No next big thing' yet," quips St. Hubbins, grinning that deeply vague grin, "but these kids are the best." In recent years, St. Hubbins has been collaborating (by mail) with his amateur musician father, Ivor, on an "all-scat" version of Bizet's Carmen.

Derek Smalls

Smalls spent the early months of the post-Tap period trying to make alternate transportation arrangements out of Japan. Once back in England, he took over his father's business, a telephone sanitization service for the Wolverhampton area. He gave up the overalls and truck when a friend and fellow bassist, Angus Wilcoe, backslid out of his job with the Christian rock band Lambsblood. It was during his two years with this avatar of evangelical heavy metal (they were famous for their mass baptisms in the slam pit) that Smalls penned his longest actual composition to date, the seven minute riff assault "Sinbad." When Lambsblood next-to-headlined at a Monsters of Jesus concert in Orange County, California, a chance meeting with St. Hubbins led to Smalls' decision to, as he puts it, "throw in my lot with evil again."

Nigel Tufnel

After Japan, Nigel went on a trip around the world. "I wanted to experience many lands. To hear many languages. To meet many women living strange lives." Upon his return to Brinsby, his farm in Kent, Nigel the guitarist became Nigel the inventor. His amp-capo, new musical notation system and folding wine glasses are only some of the results of that very productive time. While none have patents yet, "they stand on their own as pleasant and helpful friends, you might say."
