KUNT AND THE GANG Yazoo meets swearing, or Stock, Aitken and Waterman meets the Macc Lads? Bollocks to all that, like, Basildon-based Kunt and the Gang is the funniest, most vital shit you can own in your record collection. Armed with the backing track of a Casio keyboard, the star of many dubiously acclaimed shows such as C4's Rudetube and, erm, not much else unless you count the internet as a celebrity-making entity, Kunt and the Gang spunks forth 2-minute no-holds-barred suburban vignettes, touching on such topics as his own celebrity obsession (Carol Vorderman and Rachel Riley), love and loss (Wanking Over a Pornographic Polaroid of an Ex-girlfriend Who Died), and the music industry at large (Use My Arse As A Cunt). Occasionally assisted by his recently removed parasitic twin Little Kunt, this gig is not for the easily offended or faint-hearted, or as Kunt descibes it, ". . . music for anyone that's not a po-faced prick!" "Life-affirmingly puerile stuff, set to one of the most infectious and upbeat melodies imaginable." CHARLIE BROOKER IN THE GUARDIAN "Kunt miraculously comes across as a pleasant young man who just happens to enjoy swearing, masturbating over ladies on television and offering himself to celebrities." THE SKINNY "Immense respect is due simply for being willing to cavort through town dressed as Fred and Rose West." B3TA.COM "Like early-80s era Depeche Mode trying to be prosecuted under obscenity laws, Kunt and his puppet pal Little Kunt perform routines about everything from Fred West to Carol Vorderman. Politically correct it isn't but your guilty sniggers will soon turn to belly laughs as improbably surreal scenarios are played out." GUARDIAN GUIDE "...you won't hear any other artist extol the virtues of Geoff Capes's pubes" THE SKINNY http://kuntandthegang.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/kuntandthegang http://www.facebook.com/pages/kunt-and-the-gang/7205209468 RUSS ABBOTOIRE Russ Abbotoire’s set will feature an unnecessary amount of really harsh swearing, striking levels of aural discomfort, breathtaking amounts of impudence, zero levels of artistic merit and a bunch of arrogant local band scene bumheads partaking in quite frankly outrageous acts of self-indulgence not seen since Sting recorded that lute album. http://www.myspace.com/russabbotoire FOIST (I WAS AFRAID) Don't you remember? Re-Rewind: Just another Sunday in a tired old street. Bradley S Club slumps in the corner, quiet tears like piss in the rain. His idiot girlfriend is all he deserves. Sir Gary Gliiter slinks an arm around him and offers comfort, he's rusty but he's still got it. Bill Oddie keeps a keen eye on him, but he's got enough to worry about with unwanton advances of his own to fend off. Miss Piggy, twitching on the kitchen floor having her third stroke in two years, holds out for a hero. Foist (I Was Afraid) be Simondo J. Topless (Dressed In Wires) and an as-yet unnamed "vocalist". http://www.dressedinwires.co.uk/titsbio.htm PHP:
