pifco's Interests
|
| General | Mary moonlights by drumming in D'astro. Ste moonlights by singing in Cowtown. | | Music | The Fall, Pavement, Shellac, Herman Dune, Velvet Underground, Beachbuggy, Stereolab, Captain Beefheart, Pet Shop Boys, Black Sabbath, early pj Harvey, Gallon Drunk, Deerhoof, Scott Walker, Chinese Stars, Ventures, Truman's Water assorted soul and disco of the 60s and 70s.
It has occurred to me that this list is not sufficiently obscure to make us sound cool so here's some more. See if you can guess which ones I made up:
Bilge Pump, Cleckhuddersfax, David Broughton, Quack Quack, Vialka, Beards, Printed Circuit, the Stain Removers, Calvin Johnson, Frank Sidebottom, Apatt, Jack and the Flaps, Mucky Sailor, Judas Priest, Grabba Grabba Tape, I Can't Believe It's Not Better, Lords, Half Man Half Biscuit, Frogs die in hot spas, Goblin.
| | Movies | I saw a good one called 'The Tingler' which has got Vincent Price in. He was trying to extermininate the aforementioned creature which looks a bit like a lobster, but is detered by the sound of screaming. It tries to get you when you're asleep. No one else seems to have seen it though, so I think I may have imagined it.
The following are also good:
Consequences Of Love, American Movie, Billy Liar, Brazil. | | Television | Chucklevision, Henry's Cat, original Star Trek. | | Books | Kurt Vonnegut and Bukowski are good. Ste likes William Burroughs, but ultimately I reckon you're best sticking with 'The Twits' by Roald Dahl. That way at least if someone asks you what it's about you might be able to give them a reasonable answer. | | Heroes | Heroes have a nasty habit of disappointing you. They generally turn out to be wife-beaters or scientologists. In the worse cases they release vile solo singles in the 80s - that means you Fergal Sharkey! |

About me:
This page has no music on it because I wasn't smart enough to sign us up as a band and they won't let us change. We've set up another page though, which you can get to by clicking Pifco in our top friends, which has some tunes on.
Pifco are a two piece from Leeds consisting of Stephen/Ste (guitar, vocals) and Mary (drums, keyboards). We like to make a noisy racket in our cellar and then inflict it on the general public whenever possible. We are named after the manufacturer of fine electrical products so don't tell them in case they decide to sue. In the event of this scenario we may have to change it to 'Ronco'. We like playing gigs of a DIY bent - none of that crap with a ticklist on the door. We also like Oz the TV series, making collages out of cardboard, and attractive knitwear.
Forthcoming gigs:
23rd April at the Packhorse, Leeds
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Mary: Illya Kuryakin, Sheriff John Burnell
I'd imagine that Ste would probably like to meet Steve Albini but might be too scared.
