A Cockney git shouting over some electronic music.
Norwich Face Transplant were formed when Archibald Macjoyce, a boorish social-nationalist Welsh Cockney punk poet, fed up with the minimal interest that the performance poetry scene arouses, persuaded Jamibald Robson, a mild-mannered guitar-tormenting hippy Lincolnshire albatross merchant, that Jamibald should compose some kind of electronic tinkerage for Archibald to recite his verse over the top of. The driving idea behind it all was that if people are prepared to listen to The Streets, then they really ought to listen to Norwich Face Transplant.
The purpose of Norwich Face Transplant is to bring some politics, intelligence, humour, creativity, glockenspiels, kazoos, panpipes and songs about Gandhi and bum-waxing into a chavvyer-than-thou music scene.
I love Mozza and The Smiths, he hasn't got the best voice in the world,
but I LOVE the lyrics. Half the tarts you see on the music
channels these days have the talent of a wheelie bin lid, they can't
string along a sentence let alone sing! And write their own songs? Why
on earth would they want to do that when they can re-hash and ruin
other peoples songs. They piss me off, badly. My god and that flaming
Mark Ronson idiot, seriously who covers a song with the lyrics "Stop Me
If You Think That You've Heard This One Before" was that some hopeless
bash at irony? What a tit. You think if I send him death threats he'll
become a hermit and we'll never have to hear from him again? And don't
even get me frikkin started on Take That!
I'd love to hear you warbling but sadly when I look on your page it comes up with....fuck all. You know I have a nack at designing stuff, I've never done a music page before but if you want I could have a crack at it. Let me know if you're interested and I'll dig up some ideas, wont be able to do it until sometime next week when I'm back from London and everything. Failing that I could have a look at the code of your existing page and try to work out where it's fucking up.
Anyways I'm gonna bugger off now! Chat to you soon, take care Kizzie x
Heyy Archie, your page seems to have ummm died? Just so you know, we're not a pair of complete headcases, that general conversation comes from a weekend spent in bed watching random dvds and umm stuff. No eels were harmed in the making of this comment =] So how are things with you anyway? I am doing my best to catch up with all my mail after being a miserable twat but I also have looooads of replys to do in my group, so busy busy busy! I hope you're well, take care Kizzie x
Heya!I'm glad me bring bonkers is amusing =] if you don't laugh you'd fucking cry! Soo how are you guys doing? Hope you're well Hugs Kizzie xxx Kizzie xxxxx
hahaha ur little message about caracas and maracas made me laugh!! thanks for the add, love ur page and ur music! keep it up dudes!!! xxx drop by sometime :) susi
cheers geezer. Yeah we've always gone with ze german spelling otherwise we could be confused with a german hardrock band that uses the english version. Have you heard the new'the streets' album?
howdy mr mcjoyce/mackjoice hmm I don't know I'd call you mac but it makes me think of McDonalds and there's something unexplainably evil about that clown and his yellow jumpsuit. erm so anyway was good to make your aquaintance, do you perform in Norwich? I keep trying to get the balls to stand up and do some poetry but it's hard when you're female and that's just not your natural anatomy...I'll stop rambling now :)
So what's the deal does this act gig or what? Would you have to pay money to get in or would David Cameron's head be required (on a platter clearly, ... with salmon mouse) Fear I may be too liberal these days. Love the gangplank tune.
