"You don't want to put stuff in the boot of a Mini; it gets wet! Mind you, stuff gets wet on the floor too, best just put it all on the seats.... the old Ludwig kit - bass drum, floor tom/rack tom (inside it - top skins only) went on the back…"

Bio:
Emerging from the primal sludge of a girl-fronted Rock band, The Fnords blinked, shook their heads and re-established their bearings. They discovered that, through some kind of bizzare accident, they all shared a love of scuzzy rock'n'roll, noisy punk and all sorts of esoteric strangeness. However, The Fnords did not notice that they had been cursed with a shared BAD work ethic, leading them to only sort out the bare minimum of gigs, and to take the urgent step of purchasing numerous button badges..Today, the Fnords like to sit about, staring at spirals and listening to psyche...

Another gig and a first....

Posted on February 6, 2011 at 5:55pm 0 Comments

Well, fresh from the first Cramps night (in Edinburgh).....people bemoaning mistakes but I never noticed, only my own.......we have another gig to add to the list; Camp Zombie near Blackpool in July!

We've never played an outdoor festival before and are greatly looking forward to it; there's zombie films and so on going on too....make-up tips for the hard of breathing.

Well, that was fun; went entirely as predicted apart from that I didn't talk too much rubbish!

There's a tracklist here

http://www.subcity.org/shows/shakedown/41a7d/

with a "listen" function; the list includes one of our new songs (and one slightly older one), so be the first on your block, etc....

With (hopefully) the worst of the winter over, the gigs are starting to come in; 2 Cramps nights in…

We're going on the Saturday Shakedown this weekend (Saturday, strangely enough!); from 5pm until 6pm on Subcity Radio (www.subcity.org) where we'll be playing some records we like, some music we've made, and talking a load of keech. As usual.....

How to encapsulate such a long time in a short statement?

Hmmmm.

 

We've been kicking about for quite a while now, and haven't really become any more....um....active in searching out gigs and opportunities and so on. The trouble is that we're all busy in one way or another, so the band gets relegated to something that we do for fun. This might be its salvation, as it means that we do still have fun playing! And....there's an LP on its way, mostly populated with new and previously unheard songs (unless you were at Elvis Shakespeare…
