Peanut Butler

American solo indie girl with electric guitar whose repertoire consists of songs about bad relationships, being dumped and more bad relationships. Sounds like every other American indie girl with an electric guitar who sngs about bad relationships, being dumped and more bad relationships.

петухпутин

#210

Aphex Twin side-project in collaboration with his 5 year old cousin, 20 year old Labrador and a circuit-bent LCD Ducktales game. Everyone thinks it’s absolutely dreadful, apart from Wire reviewer Kleberson Vandalism who calls it “the best thing ever to acquaint itself with the human ear” as he still owes Richard D James protection money to stop being bogwashed from 1986-87 Year 9 at Rick Stein Secondary Modern and Hell Academy in Liskeard.

An Officer and a Gerbilman

#212

Twee-pop act formed by Utah’s Spengler sisters. The initial gimick involved dressing a gerbil in miniature naval uniform and having him onstage at gigs. The sisters would converse with him between songs.

After a particularly scathing review appeared in the local press, stating “that gerbil just looks terrified,” what passed for their career was brought to a shuddering halt by an anonymous police report for animal cruelty.

Janine Spengler found later fame as a meme when someone cruelly screenshotted her weeping on the local news over their mistreatment whilst wailing, “we just wanted to bring a little smile to the world.” Regrettably, the “I just wanted to bring…” girl meme was later co-opted by the far right to promote Donald Trump’s re-election campaign.

An ignominious path, trodden with good intentions.

I liked this but immediately withdrew it when I saw MGMT described as “also-rans”

The Fucking Tories

#219

Shock art / performance trio comprising bespectacled horror goblin Govius Wrecks, nub-headed Raabid Dog and frontwig Boris And His Johnson. Borrowing heavily from early Wild Beasts, this dour trio spew out offensive right wing propaganda while “massaging” animatronic pigs in time to their less than melodic howls. Choreography by DJ Cameron.

Reservoir Pogs

#223

Post Fraggle band received mid to fair rating for first E.P. on the Butchered Label in the Summer of '92 in Melody Maker. Notable for their baggy knitted jumper under suit uniform look which understandably never really took off. Band folded after guitarist left to form Menswear.
