Welcome to our psychedelic 60s-garage punk-rock trashcan-glamour world. We hope you enjoy our lo-fi lo-budget garage psychedelia video for Acid is a Love Drug, featuring MTV worthy performances from all concerned. This we hope will be followed by an Ed Wood inspired B-Movie style production featuring drummy Mike dressed as a giant octopus, the lost city of Atlantis, and the Brains saving the world from imminent destruction by over-sized crustaceons. The following video gives you the idea...
Had a great time last night, What a fantastic band! Bradford loved ya. Thanks for coming over with your friends. Looking forward to coming over to yours sometime soon.
Thanks for throwing open your showbiz fold to the burnin' vermin of CrackTown, gents; it's much appreciated. Here's hoping we can get across to Hebden Bridge at some point and cook up a rich, satisfying psychadelic/garage/country/blues/punk gumbo - or, failing that, something that's not a shit metaphor... Keep it gangsta, CrackTown
for all those friends from hawaii to hong kong - from the northwest to the tip of the south west - here is all you need to know about the coming Croissant Neuf Summer party
Croissant Neuf Summer Party promises to be the feel good festival of the summer. With its intimate, boutique style and all power on site provided by renewable energy, organic food, locally brewed ales and one of the most eclectic music line-ups of the year, it will be nothing short of spectacular. Held just outside Usk, Monmouthshire - it’s the perfect family weekend in the country.
it not long now and hear its' going to be hotter than july, cooler than september, yes - august is going to be the month to remember - ..............
Hey up Saz, yeah I'll come along for sure, no doubt the fabulous dancing Ms Buttercup will be there too; we'll also have to see if we can entice any of the others away from the transcendent land of Sprout. Anyway till then :+) J
Hey there! Thanks for the add. Buttercup has been badgering us for quite some time now to check you guys out.. Should've dropped by sooner. Great stuff..
Hi Electric Brains, just letting Mike and Sarah know I've put some old Wild Panzis footage from a Band on the Wall gig in 1995 on U-Tube. Hope you're all doing well, good to see you've been notching the gigs up, The Manoeuvres are limbering up for their summer season in the Peak district! See you round Martin.
