This site is a tribute to one of the greatest bands to ever record, and is here to show the masses their wonderful music. I am just a fan, so do NOT send me emails with questions for the band. I do not know them personally. Here is a biography
From the Flying Nun Site:
Pioneers of the lo-fi aesthetic the Tall Dwarfs spluttered into life during 1979 by singers/songwriters Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate following the demise of their previous band, the legendary Toy Love.
Recording on Knox’s four-track machine, the duo debuted with the 1981 EP Three Songs, highlighted by the classic "Nothing's Going to Happen."
Back then, the Tall Dwarfs represented the D.I.Y. ethic at its purest — songs were all recorded at home (performed in bedrooms, hallways and the like) and the band produced all of their own videos and promotional materials. In 2002, nothing has changed, bar the recorded medium! With the advent of digital technology, our duo have reached into that realm to investigate the myriad of possibilities of time-stretching, looping and cut’n’paste editing that the Tall Dwarfs had already perfected previously on magnetic tape. Which is not to say they have forsaken that wonderful medium, 99% of the new record being recorded to 1/2" 8-track tape before dumping to digital.
In between the band have amassed a huge back catalogue of EP’s and full-length albums, as well as healthy solo recording careers. The Tall Dwarfs have toured the USA, Europe and Australia. Their records have been licensed and released internationally by various record labels including Homestead, Rough Trade and Carrot Top USA.

appartment don't tell the truth about what they think.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that howie has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow jells from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.grmlin.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with jell bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from grmlin.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his package and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at grmlin.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.grmlin.COM
