The Beach Boys couldn't actually surf...The Hollies weren't actually FROM Manchester...The Who technically weren't mods...and now, South-East London's finest was actually born in Streatham, which carries an SW postcode! All scandalous scandals which seem like minor footnotes when one actually gets down to what's important: the actual music. Formerly of the still-sporadically-reforming "Persad Brothers" boy-band (one of them's 35, for cryin' out loud!), Nathan writes all of his own stuff except for the obscure covers, and plays and sings all the parts, except for the guest cameos. He has an album coming out (his 6th, but his first "proper") on Mile High Music.
If it's Freddie And The Dreamers meets Cream meets The Beatles meets Queen meets Frank Zappa meets The Hollies meets Prince meets Van Dyke Parks meets Rolf Harris meets Love meets The Who meets Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons meets Me First And The Gimme Gimmes meets The Beach Boys meets Neil Sedaka meets Chas And Dave meets E.L.O. meets Jimi Hendrix meets The Merseybeats meets The Sonics meets Fats Domino meets Jan & Dean you're after, than look no further.
Dev Brahmin.

Although it's purported that Tony Hancock never told a rude joke in his life after his first onstage performance full of double entendres fell completely flat, I would like to relay to you some lines exchanged between Tony and everyone's favourite poofter, Kenneth Williams (aka Snide), for your complete amusement.
Ahem.
TONY: Now. I've got a big marrow. SNIDE: OOOOHH, ain't you lucky!?!?
SNIDE: I'm 'ere for the Alpine Yodelling Contest. I am the yodelling champion of East Dulwich. TONY: Get away! SNIDE: Well, it's not surprising, y'see, I have the biggest yodel in Dulwich. TONY: [pause] Incredible for a man of your build...
TONY: Who are you?? SNIDE: I'm your fag!!
The show is pure filth!!! We must listen to it together some time. After watching Circus Boy... The memory of Uncle Joey pulling a fish out of his trousers for Corky will forever haunt me...!
