Uncle Yuk Yuk has been hatched!
"Not The Only Clown in The Village" have been through a few line-up
changes over the past year since their creation at the beginning of
2007. Jonsky out of the band Leggofingers played bass for a while and
Jason out of Johnny Action Finger and The Monty Pirates has guested on
bass and guitar. Nik Turner has also guested on saxophone and flute.
At the start of 2008 the final full line-up has been set. Robin Benson
{anchor man of TidyLike Records and The Narberth Rock School} on guitar
and vocals,
Tess {formerly the singer with Brother Vegetable} on drums,
melodica, accordian and vocals, Bowen {guitarist of Order 66}on bass and
Craig High on vocals, clarinet, tin whistle, tenor recorder, percussion
and harmonica.
Craig's inaugural gig was at The Queen's Hall in
Narberth, West Wales in Dec 2007 in front of a couple of hundred punters
who were largely of the teenage variety. Sendelica, Order 66, Regime and
The Monty Pirates were also on the line-up.
Craig compered the event and
gave away chocolate Santas on sticks, Hawkwind and Devo DVDs, clown
masks and tangerines as big big prizes.
Our first gig with the full
line-up as it now stands was at Letterston Memorial Hall in West Wales
on Match 8th 2008. Robin on guitar, bass, vocals and kazoo, Tess on
melodica, accordian and drums, Craig on vocals, clarinet, tin whistle
and percussion, Bowen from Order 66 on guitar and bass, Nik Thunder
Rider Turner of Hawkwind and Inner City Unit Fame on sax and flute and
Irvine The Bard reciting space poetry.
With plenty of gigs in the
pipe-line for 2008 this Dubfolk Punk ensemble are poised and ready to
graduate into a squeaky nose wearing, long shoed, flashing bow tied
bunch of bedlamite Anarchists exploding their clown car at a venue near
you! The last couple of years concluding this, the first decade of the
twenty first century, will see the rise of the clown as an antidote to
CCTV surveilance if we have anything to do with it.
