godofhaircare Got most this on a dodgy CDR from Chris many many many moons ago at a Ginger Acoustic gig in Glasgow. Think it was like the last copy he had....bloody brilliant gig and highly underrated genius songs. Favorite track: Nursery Rhymes And Drugs.

about

In 2002ish I borrowed a Roland MC505 sequencer and started making some very silly tunes to amuse me and my friends. The inevitable outcome was putting some equally daft guitar to it, painting myself silver, and taking it out live, where it did really come... alive. Blood and vomit were regular occurrences. Injury was commonplace. Laughter was, also, a must. This was taking the piss on a grand scale, and never more so than when I somehow managed to blag a slot at the Leeds Festival in 2004, playing to a packed tent of Robochrist devotees in silver masks with a cast of friends who I had roped in so they could get a free ticket. (I told the promoter there were 12 of us in the band.)

Robochrist took me to my first Radio One session. It brought me press in the NME, Kerrang and the Didcot Advertiser, where someone wrote in to complain about my performance at the Truck Festival (where once again I had blagged a mate in, this time to act as my amyl-nitrate tech during the gig). It took me to support The Wildhearts, Kaiser Chiefs, Futureheads, and The Sisters Of Mercy, on tours of the UK and Europe, and unbelievably for me, Japan. It gave me a small spat in the press with then-darlings of 'shock'-rock media manipulation Towers Of London. People loved it and people SERIOUSLY hated it. It was very silly and very funny and I sort of miss him.

So, here, for the first time commercially online, is a fully remastered and tweaked-up/tweaked-out five-track EP, brought to life by a typically amazing remaster by Dave Draper.

ALSO here is the never-before-released Leeds Festival outro. The set was only 19 minutes long and I had a half-hour slot, so using my half-arsed radio production 'skills', I chucked together a mashup (as we did in those days) of some of my very favourite 90s dance hits.

ALSO for the first time is my Radio 1 Maida Vale live session for Rob da Bank, which celebrated the first birthday of his show. Nice fella.

Please enjoy this ridiculous little concept which, as ever, I took to the nth degree. X
