  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... "You know that special demo that only lands once a year, the one that stops everything, the one thats so good it takes you an age to try and get down how good it is. The excellently named band have a frantic sound Proper Punk Energy and attitudes like the Buzzcocks, Iggy or the first days of those Manics when You Loved Us. The Flesh Happening are urgent urgent urgent.".. - ..The Organ.. ..“The Flesh Happening, undoubtedly the greatest band in Brighton”.. – Meatbreak BBC6 .."This band dive headfirst into places most people fear to, both musically and lyrically, with live shows proving they are in possession of the best frontman in town".. – The Brighton Source.."Filth. Degredation. Power. Glamour. Hitler. Bowie. A grandmotherlover in a gimp mask. Lick your lips and get stuck into The Flesh Happening.".. – Jon Hillcock - XFM..“You know how glam flirted with gayness but got coy before it got too dirty, the forces of straight acceptability moving in and turning it into a minor facet of the bloke-ish personality? Well The Flesh Happening take it back for the queers, drag it into an alley behind a really scary bar and rape it back to life. They are the answer to the big men at Morrissey gigs who fancy a quick weep before their next fight. Angry, squealy, arresting and the only band that has made me uncomfortable in the twenty-first century.” .. – Julia Indelicate .. ......The Flesh Happening - WASTE (2007)...... .. .. .. .. .. ......d/evil.. | ..MySpace Video....
