about

Jan's lyrics satyring the Fascist dictator and his imagined tiny obsession. We started to divide up the vocals and use all three of us more, trying to do a play for voices kind of thing. I'd spent a year writing no words and Jan gave me this as piece of writing, loosely based on a dream I had- we all lived in the same ramshackle house in Stoke Newington so we were pretty close. I wrote the music on an 8 track and dubbed the vocals roughly onto it. Then we turned it into a song in the rehearsal room. We released it as a 2 track ep (with Galileo) but our distributors dropped us when they heard it and no one would distribute it. It got single of the week in the Guardian Guide on the day of 911, but of course no one could buy it (online wasn't a thing then). It did open the door to years of touring and friendship in Italy for us and loads of bands from East London though.
