Influences
bowie, bolan, roxy music pre-80's, clash, smiths, manics, sparks, pistols, buzzcocks, numan, ant, only ones, robyn hitchcock,syd barret.....but,of course, it doesn't mean UFK sound like any/all of them. I could write a story about a little hungry boy who lives in london and steals out of peoples pockets...but i ain't no charles dickens.
Sounds Like
a herd of south-columbian weevils walking sideways across a rice-paper bridge carrying a 1 in 20 scale model of a mock-mahogany baby-grand piano...in a mild to moderate rain-shower...on a Tuesday
"UNLUCKY FRIED KITTEN" WERE FORMED BY ANDY EXPORT IN 1995 AFTER THE DEMISE OF HIPPY-PUNK BAND "DEATH IN VENICE", WHEN CITIZEN CHRIS (WONDERFUL GUITAR-BOY) SPLIT TO LOS ANGELES TO PURSUIT HIS JINGLES CAREER. (HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "BIG BUBBLES, NO TROUBLES" CAMPAIGN..HUH..BUT ANDY AIN'T BITTER) VARIOUS BANDS AND LINE-UPS CAME AND WENT (ACCELERATION/HARMONICA LEWINSKY/THE MARTINI SLUTZ/THE 'ANDSOME WILFS). ERRR..THAT'S IT REALLY. ALBUMS(bands inclusive)==="ALIVE & DYING" "WHEELING THE OLD METAL CHAIR TOWARDS ME" "NAPOLEONIC ENID BLYTON" "UNLUCKY FRIED KITTEN PRESENT LOSERVILLE.COM" "RUSSELL BRAND IS A WANKER" PLEASE NOTE THAT UFK WERE FORCED TO DROP THE "RUSSELL BRAND IS A WANKER" TITLE AFTER LEGAL THREATS FROM RUSSELL BRAND'S PEOPLE...PROVING THAT RUSSELL BRAND CAN GIVE OUT THE STICK BUT HE CAN'T TAKE IT BACK. THE ALBUM WAS RENAMED TO "STRATEGIES OF THE SUB-CLASS"
"STRATEGIES OF THE SUB-CLASS" WAS WITHDRAWN/ERASED AT 135 COPIES...COS..MAN...IT WAS ATROCIOUS. UFK ARE CURRENTLY COMPILING NEW CD..."I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP BUT THEY WERE BLACK SHEEP AND I COULDN'T SEE THEM IN THE DARK"

How's it going? I finally have some stuff with vocals on it uploaded. Recorded one yesterday... it's a bluesy track called "Stone Cold Rotten Rose". Check it out if you get the chance.
Hey Andy, I'm going to Lounge on the friday to see Gong and Steve Hillage and Falling Lucid, probably see you and Rio there :-)I saw you got Ollie back, nice one, scary when they go missing x
Aaah what a lovely msg. Thanks! I haven't got gigs lined up, just open mics. Whens the white horse in maidstone one you guys go to ? Andys Good intent one is thursday. Heard you were great at the westcourt the other week. Did you find Ollie yet? XXX
Thanks very much for your comments regarding the videos. Yes it was me who wrote "Joni's Birthday" so you're in the clear ;-) Really pleased you like it. I enjoyed your gig at The Good Intent the other week too. Really entertaining. Glenn.
