El sanchez were formed on the northern beaches of wollongong around 2000 . The brain child of Al Lynch ( Fridge, Tumbleweed ) . Joining him in the line up was long time freinds Phil Lally ( Fridge, Tumbleweed ) on bass and Greg Eshman ( Thumlock, Jed Whitey ) on drums. The band more or less started through sharing very similar music tastes and through surfing together and smoking on the sweet leaf . The band played a number of shows through out nsw and vic and recorded two seperate ep's that still to this day have not been released.
