   About The Furbelows

Furbelow n. A flounce on a skirt or petticoat, (furbelows) showy trimmings

It's time to ram home the funk plug, grease the spindles of dub and give a brazen yank to the hairy tail of the Beast of Rock. For the Furbelows are here, a quintet of fey south London troubadours who are determined to meld rock, blues, folk, funk and cabaret into a sort of "lounge metal". The songs tend to revolve around disease, apocalypse, drugs, hedonism, Nazis and transvestism. Lead singer Alex doesn't actually appear on stage in drag as much as he used to though he hasn't calmed down in any other respect. So loosen any tight clothing and assume crash positions. No, better still, drape yourself over an impossibly baroque chaise longue and gaze dreamily into your goblet of absinthe.

Since August 2008, The Furbelows have run their own quarterly night, a musical extravaganza (with the odd poet thrown in) with its own flavour of dark humour, cabaret swagger, vaudevillean pomp and unabashed fun. It takes place at the Cross Kings in London's King's Cross and all guests get a free limited edition badge to take home with them plus free custard creams. We call it the Cirque de Crème Anglaise

"I love that track! That's going to be playlisted a million, million, million, trillion times on this show. And Clayton is the best-dressed man in the whole of the UK underground scene." Jordan Thomas, playing 'Pleasure Machine' on The Friday Forum, VS Re:Charged

"'Pleasure Machine' rips up the carpet, stomps its Cuban heeled feet into the floorboards and before you know it, has created a clammy, uninhibited party. It's as simple, attractive and as much fun as a Playboy Playmate, and twice as pleasant to listen to. 'What Whiskey Is For' is nearly the kind of song that Spiritualized would write if they had a sense of humour. But, if you want a blast of pure, eccentric, in—capital-letters—FUN, you could do no better than putting 'Pleasure Machine' on loop." A New Band A Day

"Epic and audacious, The Furbelows are an uber-confident five-piece who defy pigeon-holing: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, plus the raw energy of The Cult and some delicious lilting harmonies." Remotegoat.co.uk

"Très bonne découverte pour ce combo anglais qui oscille entre garage, the Fall et excellence...On attends la suite de leurs aventures avec impatience." French radio show Kerosene by KFUEL on station CanalB, upon airing 'Pleasure Machine'. (Roughly translated, "Very good debut for this English combo who oscillate between garage, The Fall and excellence. We await the continuation of their adventures with impatience.")

Dear THE FURBELOWS,

I am writing make known to you last will of my esteemed distant cousin, J JAKOPSON RAARKWEATHER who passed away peacefully by the violent sword of his enemies early last morning.  It was his dying wish that a concert of epic proportions be given by you THE FURBELOWS, as he told me in confidence while he was dying.  He have supplied a fund of biscuits which I secreted from his enemies in my trousers, claiming an ailment.

For this reason I make correspondence with you most urgently THE FURBELOWS.  Supply to me at once a packet of biscuits as a sign of good faith.  Five tonnes of the same kind of biscuits will then be supplied to your bank.  We will also play your mad revelry in mourning for J JAKOPSON RAARKWEATHER.

Do not delay.  They circle ever closer.

FT

Hey have you seen my latest book?

My New Book: Butterfly Tai Chi: Health, Energy and Tranquility in 10 Minutes a Day


Description

The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.


About the Author

Martin Faulks has been a student of the oriental martial arts since he was five years old. He has a black belt in the Korean martial art, Kuk Sool Won and is proficient in the mystical disciplines of China including Tai Chi, Meditation, Qi Gong and the legendary form of Yi Jin Jing.

You can Buy it at www.martinfaulks.com or www.amazon.com and any good bookshop

I just discovered to my delight that the rock outfit I also perform in, namely 'arcs', are to play alongside The Furbelows at the Purple Turtle next month. Just when you thought Tuesdays couldn't get any better.
