We’re a fine group of Midlands gentlemen with a fondness for strange concept rock.

Our band’s premise is that we are the soundtrack to a stickman of the same name.  His nemesis, Flarble the evil Tortoise, has stolen the lemon of injustice and the lime of madness, and only he can stop him.

To bring balance back to the land of Spappleclam, Griswald must obtain the orange of epic flatulence and place it in the almighty fruitbowl which is in a temple on Spapplemoon.

To get there he must ride the Top Horse, a being that existed before the universe began, who knows all of its secrets and tricks.

Answers by: Ant Whitton

In no more than 25 words, explain what makes you different to what’s out there already…

“I don’t think anyone’s ever written a concept EP/album about a stickman before…”

It’s a wet and windy Tuesday evening in February and you’re on tour. Why should people venture out to come see you?

“To be cheered up by the prospect of a stickman riding through space on a horse to stop a demented tortoise from ruling the universe.”

Are you currently holding down other jobs? If so, what are they, and would you recommend them to other aspiring artists in need of cash?

“All in all we’re a mixed bag: I’m (Ant) in freelance sub-editing work, DJ is a website designer, Pick works at Ladbrokes, Liam works at the local Tesco and Pnut is a student waster. We’re a bunch of starving artists right now and our advice on this matter would be very unsound.”

You’re on top of a soapbox, telling everyone where you aspire to be in five years time. Where do you aim to be, and what’s your mission statement?

“We aim to be signed to Warp, where we will go on to release comics with our music! And people will get free ostriches with every purchase!”

For a bonus point – tell us a joke! You don’t have to, but if you feel the urge…

“The Mills – McCartney divorce settlement. Shit, it made us all laugh…”
