We'd been awake for 24 hours   before this gig... Rob & Arf on Red Bull and vodka...

 

Chris on chocolate and local plum brandy.

Are you looking at me?

 

 

Pirot, Serbia (March '07):

This was another great gig in the Southern mountains.

On the telly.

 

On the radio. with Arf looking just a touch like Doctor Death

...and some of our holiday snaps...

Igor & scary Aleks (our promoter)

 

 

Looks just like Chatham!

Piss stop, heading for Pirot.

"Hmm... I think I'll try the patent red sling backs"

We hit the dodgems just after this photo.  Someone was filming it.  Probably immortalised on youtube by now!

In the studio (Feb '07): recording THE DROWNED MAN RESUSCITATOR.

Brod & Arf laying down a groovy groove from groovesville. (guitar & vocals by Buddy)

Arf on backing vox.  (These cans are ruining my hairdo)

Bob, Rob &  John...& Bob.

          

The inimitable Mr Riley of Ranscombe studio.

Two lovely guests were kind enough to help us out on a few tracks - Glenn Barnes on acoustic bass... 

....and Chris (Windy) White on trombone.

....and some others we've got hanging around

This curious birthmark belongs to one of our tallest fans.  Spot him at a gig and he'll show you where it is!

Wow, man!  Arf getting psychedelic at "The Lazy Sunday" (You sure this is a Woodbine?)

Here's some from our trip to France (June '06)

Arf showing Den from Chien d'Mer  the chords to Big Wheel.  Note the oversize French/English dictionary!

Brod & Denis getting friendly after a few Belgian beers. Chiche & Alex.  Formidable PA handlers.  Thanks lads! Snapped just after Arf proposed to Chiche. (Yeah. And who ever wrote this ain't bloody invited. Arf')

....and some old 'uns

"One World Literary Festival", Dusseldorf, Germany, 1993 with Billy Childish.  Isn't Brod slim and handsome? (That's Arfur, you twat!)

The girl on the guitar's pretty! (But look on the right. Don't you hate it when they put clothes on a monkey.)
