Bio
Bad Manners Are Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were at school together, and among their early incarnations were known as Stoop Solo and the Sheet Starchers. They were popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period when lots of similar ska bands filled the charts. Some of their hits include "My Girl Lollipop", "Lip Up Fatty"," Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu", "Special Brew" , " Lorraine ", " Just A Feeling", "Walking In The Sunshine" and the "Can Can". One of the main reasons for their notoriety was because of their outlandish, larger-than-life, huge tongued & shaven-headed front man. Buster's exploits got them banned from the British TV chart show Top of the Pops(which included dressing as Henry VIII and singing to a blow-up doll for the song "Lorraine", pouring a large can of baked beans over his head, and dressing in a can-can dancer's dress to promote their single "Can-Can"). They were also banned from Italian TV when Buster had decided after a particularly successful concert that he should moon the crowd, having been told that the Pope was watching on TV. In 1986 Bad Manners went their seperate ways, but Buster reformed the band with Louis Alphonso, Martin Stewart, Winston Bazoomies,nick welsh & Chris Kane a year later. In 1989 he licensed the Blue Beat Records name & logo, and set up office in a 50ft barge in his back garden in Spring Hill, London. He closed the label in 1990, and two years later moved back to Stoke Newington. Despite having scored many hits and featuring prominently in the UK charts of the early 1980s, Bad Manners are perhaps most renowned for their songs Special Brew and lip up fatty. In 1995 Buster moved to Margate & fell in love with the seaside reasort. So much, that he opened up a hotel on the seafront called "Fatty Towers" , which catered for people with huge appetites. Whilst living in Margate at the hotel, Buster was a regular spectator at Margate F.C. and Bad Manners sponsored the club for one season. "Fatty Towers" closed in 1998 & Buster moved back to his native North East London. As of 2007, Buster Bloodvessel still performs with Bad Manners in venues all over the UK & Europe. He is the only original member left in the band. They now headline their own annual music festival - 'Badfest'. This festival features ska, mod-related music and punk rock bands from the 1980s to the present. Bad Manners planned to tour the United States, Canada and Mexico in summer 2007 and the band is working on a new album. -
