As we all know, Martin isn't alone on stage. His live-band called "The Frying Demons" has been with him since the beginning. Back then it was called "The Bend Over Band", but since only 3 remained in the band since the last tour they decided to change the name.
BUT the band has had it's ups and downs. As we all know the great backup vocalist Nana Hedin was just one of many who unfortunately decided to leave the band. It was a great loss, but that's how it goes sometimes.
