Sounds Like
A bad Fall-tribute band with an injection of Half-Man Half Biscuit and Hendrix on guitar. (That is of course Frank Hendrix...Jimi's brother, who was totally deaf and only had two fingers on his left hand)

Trouserdog formed in 2006 following the recording of the "Eighties Fixation" album by Warren Trousers, which reached the ears of ex-Ravens brothers Rich and Jim Trouser. It was decided that the world needed to hear "Taxi for Titboy" in a live setting, and so another ex-Raven, Kristoff Akabussi, joined on drums.
Following a few months of rehearsals, the final member of the line-up, Glenn (of ex-Rosehips semi-fame) joined to provide the missing ingredient of some synthy bleeps and occasional extra-guitar. As no fucker else would put us on we hired a PA for the night, booked ourselves a gig at Harry's Bar in Stoke and hoped people would turn up.
We had a few more gigs in 2007, playing at a "wrongpop" night at The Glebe, as well as a couple of stints at Fat Cats in Hanley and The Old Brown Jug in Newcastle. We also managed to get a bit of airplay on Radio Stoke's "Subculture" show, as well as having two songs reach the John peel Festive Fifty on Dandelion Radio.
2008 saw our second album "How I became a Sex Pest" completed, and a live session for Radio Stoke, as well as airplay on Xfm and BB6 music. A few more gigs at The Sugarmill, The M club (Crewe) and finally The Old Brown Jug, before we all put on our slippers, lit our pipes and went off for a long rest...
However, for no good reason other than immaturity and devilment, three of us have decided to make a comeback, with Kristoff Akabussi also being available for occassional cameos, weddings, and musical productions of whatever crap is in town.
LISTEN TO "EIGHTIES FIXATION" and "HOW I BECAME A SEX PEST" by visiting the sites shown in our "Top Friends" list.
Miss Halliwell have a new song up called "Let's Do Business". It's well worth listening to if you fancy a burst of original wall of sound pop laced with irony.. All the best :)
Hrellllo.. Miss Halliwell will be screening their feature film "DIE SON! DIE!" at THE PUBLIC in West Bromwich on the evening of Thursday 10th September 2009. This is the official premiere and it will also include a short live performance from the band. It is open to the general public so if you fancy an audio / visual extravaganza please come along.
There is now a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=115767676822 for Miss Halliwell's film / album release. The group contains information about the release, latest news and previews.
