Carter USM OFFICIAL

Bio:

CARTER THE UNSTOPPABLE WHAT MA WHO? Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine were a duo, later threeo and eventually sixxo (back to a duo ten years later) formed by South London friends Jim Morrison (sic) and Les Carter (sic again) who made their name with a mix of pop, puns, social commentary, loud guitars and electronic music. They had fourteen top forty singles in the UK and released seven studio albums, one of which reached number one in the charts. During their ten year career, Carter USM - as they became known - played nearly 800 live gigs all over the world. In October and November 2007 they got back together for two gigs at the Brixton Academy and Glasgow Barrowlands. Following massive demand to do it again they've organised two more gigs for November of 2008 and now, they will perform their first four albums in full at the Kentish Town Forum on November 13th (Post Historic Monsters & 1992 The Love Album) and the Brixton Academy on November 14th (101 Damantions a& 30 Something). ..
