Cheers chaps that's the one.

Having done a bit of research into their background I find there is a strong Bristol (and Portishead ) connection. Alison Glodfrapp has collaborated with a number of old Bristol musos that I know. For instance, Lovely Head was co-composed by Will Gregory, a well known session sax player on the local circuit. Small world.

Anyway, they are a fascinating live act, if anyone caught their Glasto perfomance on BBC3 last night.

never heard of them before last night, but was lucky to turn over when the monkey dust theme was playing, so I recognised it. I'm not sure whether it was the music or her outfit that kept me watching ,that tail could come in very handy.


good stuff anyway, have you seen their website? - very surreal

I'm impressed! In fact the MD of the company that makes them died the other day. My condolences to his family..... but from a motorists perspective he did bring shame upon our leafy little town!

Check out the wreath they made for him:

Don't be impressed, I'm a learned guy!

Indeed condolences to his family for his passing but nothing whatsoever for his spawning of camera cases!!

Cracking wreath too, just shame the idea/design doesn't go with him.
