Aberystwyth's finest eclectic underground dance act, The Mighty Fuod
are a nine piece band that mix up funk, ska, drum + bass and more into
an original, live, smash it up set.
After several mutations of The Mighty Fuod going back too many years, the current line up was sealed when Matt "Bone" Byers was the final member to join the band in the autumn of 2005. Now with a solid rhythm section, blinding guitars, full frontal moog and a full brass section, we have finally got the sound we've been after to guarantee a full (sweaty) dancefloor!!

Ahoy there! Check out our new EP The Inland Sea here - You can also listen and buy at www.theinlandsea.co.uk Enjoy xxx
“A call to arms from the perilous waters of the Island. Kinfolk cower in their homes as wild squalls rage fury on us. A far cry from the glassy seas and towering swells from which we profited only a few days ago. Respite cruelly prized from our grasp, our hopes of reprieve in calmer seas lie tattered, at least for now. Scathed but not scarred, we persist through relentless gales and cloudbursts on the fringes of the ocean, passing the church in the bay where many a reveler and mourner has been left stranded at high tide. Through fortune and fortitude we reach the shore and are greeted by warm fires, zestful ales and hearty tales shared with our good friend, (sadly soon to depart us). For the storm has abated and the bow has settled. We wipe our blinkered eyes, ravaged and weary; the majestic scenes enveloped by the Island in a blind rage, ever imprinted in our minds”...
The Inland Sea is inspired by the isle of Anglesey, a place that has always been close to The Mekkits’ hearts... It was recorded and produced at "Studio Los Mekkitos"... in Manchester, and will be followed next year with the ecclectic debut album!
yeh anyway ive got the album thats been out a while and am loving it! just wondering when your releasing the next one cause ill be getting it as quick as possible. ill try to catch as much live stuff as possable but its a bit difficult at the moment cause im trying to pay off my debt for my guitar, but ill try to get to the rare one. see you around =P
Rhods. Thanks for the messiness. Still makes me giggle when I think of Bob staggering around on that Balloon near the tipi hahahaha! Hopefully we'll make an effort to get our arses to the Rare One. Safety geezer! Love Ems x x

Good news! We are not going to Berlin after all due to the prohibitive cost of the flights and excessive skintosness caused by my trashing our baby camper (sob!That's actually bad news!). Sooooo we will be there to jump around and grin innanely during your set (and for most of the rest of the festie I should imagine). Big love Ems n Bob x
Rhods :) Are you actually playing on Friday at 8pm at Blue Rock like your profile says? Me and Bob might have to go to Berlin for an album launch night and for him to gig it on Sat 2nd, so if you guys playing Friday that would be soooper sweet :0 Hope all is well? love Ems x x
