Member Since2/27/2006
Band Websitehttp://www.thehaiku.co.uk
Band MembersPhil - Plays geetar and sings through his mouth to make with the vocal and lyrical content thing. Phil likes Monkeys.

Bert - Hits things with sticks (and sometimes brushes) to make bashy type noises. Bert likes cheese.

InfluencesSong writer Mr Phil is influenced by lots of shitty things that happen. Generally, when the ways of life get in the way of enjoying yourself, and being happy. That doesn't mean the songs are all miserable though. Far from it, that just happens to be the period during which Mr Phil is at his most creative.

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.
