First, there is the decision to set up a band, for fun, to play music with friends that think alike and who's company you enjoy. You realise that you have some chemistry going on and the music ain't half bad neither. So you decide to do some gigs, whoohoo, the audiences like you too. You get stiffed by one or two promoters, hey, that's okay, let them use us for profit we will :~( may the force be with them.
You decide to record your set in a professional studio at great expense, the producer is new, feeling his way around, excuse me don't feel me there, oh sorry, back to the story. Hhmm, yes the producer is a great bloke and does a fantastic job. You press a CD and everything sounds grooovy, until, what are we going to call it? And whilst we are at it, we need to write a professional Bio. Three blokes from Uxbridge, Ruislip, no, Uxbridge, no, Ruislip, whatever, playing Rock Music with Punk overtones and funky bass lines, says it all, but it wont cut it with the Journo's.
We recorded 6 tracks in 5 days, edited them in 3 days and mastered them in a couple of hours. Three weeks later and we still couldn't come up with a name or a Bio!! But, at last, we got there. Not the most, off the wall, name for an EP, Phat n Phunky, but it beats calling it "McFly with Attitude" or "nothing" And the Bio, thank God for Plagiarism..
And now, for the art work for the CD and cover, and publicity shots of the band! Aarrggghhhh!
The Phat n Phunky dudes of..
