Band Members

Matthew Brocklehurst

Matthew Brocklehurst - He's really quite tall and is the only member that shows signs of musical knowledge. He plinks the keyboard but is more than happy to play any instrument he can get his hands on. Supplies the unhumanly deep vocals.

matthew@thebadgerfamine.co.uk

Alex Coombes

Alex Coombes - Contributes the lyrics and has a share of the vocals. A few tracks by The Badger Famine feature guitar played by the hands of Alex, although these are dwarved by guest performances. Music videos and other forms of publicity can be credited to Alex.

Simon Gregory

Simon Gregory - Simon offers his unique vocal ability and maintains a well groomed appeal. His notable acheivement was to get the ball rolling by singing the opening verse to our first song, "Damn Bad Luck". The only member of the band whose first and last names qualify as a first name.

Influences

Matthew likes Beck, Ben Folds, The Cat Empire, Gomez, Jeff Buckley, Mountain Goats, Pixies, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Shins

Alex listens to Electric Six, Rush, Weezer, ABC, Serj Tankian, Duran Duran, The Human League, Ultravox, Wang Chung and Goldfinger

Simon enjoys a little Brant Bjork, Bloc Party, Kyuss, Killing Joke, Mark Lanegan, Two Gallants, Supergrass, Queens of the Stone Age, Screaming Trees and Masters of Reality

We all love the legendary Logan Whitehurst.

These are the artists that we enjoy listening to. but don't expect to see any of it reflected in our own music necessarily.

Sounds Like

This isn't too easy...

The most accurate comparison may be to Syd Barrett. Of course any slightly psychotic children's television is a safe bet too.

Other comparisons we have heard through a music reviewing process include Frank Zappa and They Might Be Giants but those are long shots really.

   About The Badger Famine

The Badger Famine is a comedy band from Norwich, UK that formed in 2006 when Matthew foolishly allowed two associates into his shed.

Matthew is the only member who really has a clue about music, however if you are a record label interested in signing us and issuing us large sums of money, we urge you to overlook this small issue.

Brand new video for "No Milk?"!

Below is our music video for "Rabbits"!

And our first music video "The Folk of the Lake".

Does this band still exist? I was a fan of their old material, but it's been a while since I have heard anything new. I might start listening to artists like 50 Cent, Rhianna and Katy Perry because they have a steady stream of output.
KunK (new songs up!)

Yohohello thar.

Matt again, thanks for the cement!

Things ARE rolling now. We've written 10ish songs, and pretty much ready to start practice/perfecting them, then recording them, and finalizing them! So stoked!

Also, I ordered your CD about a week ago, hopefully it's here soon!

Can't wait to see that new video/hear that new song! Awesome!

Not Madeline





Apr 26 2008 12:45 AM

There has not been any new songs on here in ages. Are you guys experiencing creative block? Because if so, I suggest you write a song about me. It could be called "Madeline Is So Great" and it would probably be a #1 smash hit single worldwide. Then you will all be rich and famous and VH1 will interview me about it when they do a special on you all called "The Badger Famine: The Early Days.
