The Alibi was formed in 2000 by John Botica as a vehicle to have his original material heard in the pubs and clubs. The best part of the last eight years since Full Moon Radio had been spent in various bands as a sideman to ex members of AC/DC, The Masters Apprentices and the One and only Mr Tiny Tim to name a few.

In this time John had appeared on no less than six albums, two video clips, performed in the UK, Germany and twice toured South East Asia promoting an album with the band Good Time Charlie. Footage from this period can be seen in a documentary titled "The Comeback Kings" which was still in production around the time of John's departure from the band.

Throughout much of the above mentioned period John felt as though he was artistically drowning in quick sand and by no means in control of his own musical destiny, he therefore decided that the forming of his own band in order to play and record his 'own music' was perhaps not a bad option.

The end result is a not too pretty, no frills, musically oriented rock group, and this is precisely what he wanted! And this is 'John Botica’s alibi'
