   About Wasps Vs Humans
What is: Wasps Verses Humans?

The real war on terror, Wasps Verses Humans. They never give up do they? The bastards, no surrender for a wasp. If you leave them alone, they’ll sting you, if you try and swat them away, they’ll bring their mate round and kick your ass. An army of the buggers. It’ll be like Planet of the Apes all over again. Mark my words!

Wasps V’s Humans is a one person project featuring only Carl Antony Plover, combining performance poetry with sound effects; could be the radio, TV, throwing toys around the room, percussion, or guitar. Snap shots of life, recorded, washing up, baby crying, phone ringing. Political and humorous lyrics that look out at the world with a growl and a smile, avoiding the “my girlfriend left me and no one understands” lyrics.

What is: Me?

Originally from Lincoln, UK and currently living in Cork, Ireland.

Written four plays for the theatre ‘Harry’s Pleasure’, ‘Shaking Hands’, ‘Like’, ‘Opera’, all produced, with ‘Like’ going on tour nationally and taking in the Brighton International Arts Festival.

Co founded Production Company Burning Paper Productions, producing a body of work to include a ten minute short film ‘Oh Minnie’, which I wrote and starring Linda Lusardi. Also wrote and produced comedy trailer called ‘Nearly Men’ with characters played by Melvyn Hayes, Anna Brecon & Boothby Graffoe.

Musically, released an L.P and Single with 4,000,000 Telephones, (recently reformed), with a tour in Germany, which gained interest from national UK press and radio, including John Peel. Other less successful bands included, Monkeys with Clothes On, Monkey Brothers and Carl Doris Experience.

Recently released a single with Chunky Planet ‘Pensioners Watch TV’ (Ireland only) receiving extensive radio play and national press exposure and chosen as Hot Press magazine’s pick of the fortnight… Oh stop it…

Hey Wasps Vs Humans, enjoying your site!



I've just had a massive spring-clean and re-organised my site. There's a new photo-shoot by the ace music photographer Martin Tomkins, new artwork, and links to items of interest. Including news of an exciting new collaberation in The Bath Fringe.

Come see what the mad scientist has been up to, and enjoy.

Ash :o)

p.s. My sounds-like section has always been a problem. A good friend recently said:
"If one were to take a genetically spliced hybrid of Moondog, Tiny Tim, Ron Geesin, Bert Jansch and Peter Buck , placing them into a time slip going back to a surreal medieval folk/rock rave...you would then hear the sound of Ash Mandrake."

What do you think?

Some great news.

Smoke Feathers have been invited to play at the INDY Music Awards media launch and short list announcement party on Wednesday April 2 7pm at the Rock Garden, Covent Garden, London.

It’s no guarantee that we have been shortlisted for the final, but we hope it is a good sign....

Great critical work here - a rarity these days...

...enjoyed the commentary on the role of the TV - not sure it 'feeds the imagination' though - I tend to think it stifles it; moulding and neatly packaging versions of both reality and unreality!

At least myspace keeps us away from it for a while!

....best wishes

Ian
