   About Jimmy Richards and The Bandicoots

Bandicoot: A small, orange animal that likes boxes, apples and bazookas. Often found fighting evil, it is thought that they are modeled on the stunning good looks of mysterious author S.K. Ellerton.

Jimmy Richards: A force of unstoppable awful, Richards is often seen parading around with an acoustic guitar and some awful form of haircut yet unknown to man. A survivor of such top-notch rock outfits as Junk Yard Shift, and some other questionable organizations (the Scottish Socialist Party and indie rock band "The Blossom" being a few amongst many), Richards has made it his mission to spread awful indie-pop-folk-punk to the masses, in order to cause the planet earth to spontaneously implode.

Jimmy can be found on Bebo and Reverbnation. If you have the time, check out his blog, The Revolution Will Not Be Amplified! Jimmy%20Richards

Jun 2 2008 7:37 AM

I like words.

This guy Mike Nisbet who has commented a wee bit down my page, saw him play with my pal's band before and he's good. I hope he covers Chelsea Hotel again.

It's free, and we can drink wine first. I think it is an excellent plan. One of my finest.

Sorry I couldn't make birthday drinks, you have fun?
