The Container Drivers are a trio from NW England. At the moment we're best known for our Fall tribute, 'The Ex-Members of The Fall Club', which was released in the summer of 2004 on the German compilation LP 'Perverted by Mark E'. Our track picked up airplay on the John Peel show ("this is very good", was his verdict) and around Europe and the US. The much-missed Mr Peel also played a couple of our demo tracks in September 2004. Since then we had our shimmering cover of Television Personalities 'A Picture of Dorian Gray' released on volume one of the TVP tribute issued by Canadian label the Beautiful Music. We also contributed to the Cherryade Records Christmas album, volume 1. 'In the Bleak Mid-Afternoon' was favourably mentioned in reviews and likened to Belle & Sebastian.
Hmm! Clearly we were showing our sensitive side on that recording.

"Prepare
yourself to be modestly outraged - McCabe is kicking against the
pricks, and declaring homosexual cliche's bankrupt" - Artrocker
"If you like punk, you'll love this. If you're queer and like punk,
you'll spunk your pants. Ste McCabe is authentic and brilliant." - Boy
George
After 20 years in show business I, LUDICROUS release yet another new single "WE'RE THE SUPPORT BAND" worldwide today. "WE'RE THE SUPPORT BAND" is available for download on I TUNES & all major on line music stores. You can watch the video on the I, LUDICROUS myspace site.
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
This 14 track album by Dan Melchior is out now on the Topplers Record Label.
Dan Says... It's a good one I think, very loud and blasted out like the more 'punk' moments on 'Thankyou very much' , but with a good dose of mangled pop too.
Available from good independent dealers in the US and UK or direct from Topplers.
Film / Rock n Roll / Vacuum-cleaners We hope this shameless self promo is of interest to you! There is now a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=115767676822 for Miss Halliwell's film / album release. The group contains information about the release, latest news and previews.
Thanks! indeed, containers and their drivers, I saw you at The Bull & Gate in London, quite a while ago, and enjoyed very much. Gig would be cool if, and big if this, if we were a group that is. We are currently a cyber collab outfit but who knows maybe that could metamorphose like a grub into a slightly bigger grub. Sky's limitless. Split singles always good, nothing beats the smell of vinyl, only bacon maybe. Keep us posted on all fronts.
