Crunchy Biscuits Crunch Japan!

There's summit about the Tokyo/Japanese audience that seems to bring ther very best out of bands. The SRV one I posted earlier from Tokyo was fucking insane. As is this one. I reckon if the Crunchy Biscuits band ever tour, we'll do Japan first. I might even try n mastermind a cult following in Japan, lay the foundations if ya get ma.

Sianara! PPuL!!!

Imaginary Week 8

I was off with a case of major man-flu (or minor swine flu) this week so the Biscuits remained in their tin. But we can always imagine what may have happened.

So to paraphrase Alan Moore here's an imaginary story. Huh, aren't they all?

We arrived to find Dagg Studios full of pornstars dubbing their new movie with authentic orgasmic cries. Ever the troopers we soldiered on.

The surprising thing about pornographic voice artists is that they look nothing like their visual counterparts. Instead the best sounding women look like ordinary plane Janes. So next time you dismiss some chick for her looks think about what's inside of her (ie a healthy pair of lungs).

We warmed up with a Crunchy Biscuit style adaptation of Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee, each of us taking turns to perform a virtuoso solo. Segued nicely into a new track called The Birds and the Bees - nursery rhymme-esque and inspired by next rooms shenanigans.

Chris used up all the batteries on his camera taking pictures of the ladies (for his own personal use, he said) so I've had to resort to an older picture to illustrate this weeks blog. He also brought us our next bit of merchandise - Crunchy Biscuits Action Figures! They're caricatures of our good selves and each figure comes complete with musical accessories (including a mini kazoo for yours truly!). They also have in built action features - Chris has a mouth-splitting siren's wail, Dan has a Pete Townsend guitar windmill signature move and mine's called drummer-choking-on-his-own-vomit.

We also did a song called Jump Ship featuring Dan on the foghorn, Pull the Chain with me on the toilet and Look Ma No Hands with Chris on the piano.

Because we were in the end room, when we went on our break we had to go through next door to get outside upsetting the poor voice artists. And when our break was over they needed some inspiration so we went back pantless.

We ended our session with Soggy Biscuit Blues and a power balad version of Saloon Dion.

Much fun was had by all and we hope you tune in next week to see how youtubing Stevie Ray Vaughn and Oasis inspired Legendary Dan.

Crunchy Biscuit Tin

Someone had the great idea of converting a biscuit tin into a ukele!

We'd be happy with just a biscuit tin with our name on it...

This Week @ Dagg (week7)

yes, good! we got a fair few songs done. it was wet and rainy so we were using umbrellas and plastic bags to protect equipment while moving it.. there was a small smouldering mass of vegetation over the wall next to Dagg Studio when we arrived which we were all having a look at - the rain was beating it down, it smelt pretty interesting. This week we were using 'the viz' for inspiration - particularly 'aesops cables' a fine story. I will be working through some of the recorded material and trying to get something out of that

mama

here is some artwork that I found whilst searching for an image to go with our new song 'mama', we did not know what the text was until checking it out in the interenet cafe today - but it goes quite well with the songs manic structure (probably :)

check out 'mama' on myspace now! http://www.myspace.com/crunchybiscuits

Previously on The Crunchy Biscuits...

So before Week Six commences I best lay a post down saying what happened the week before.

It began with Chris handing me a sweaty tissue. At least he told me he'd been sitting on it, possibly collecting the sweat in his muchly exposed butt crack. He told me afterwards BTW.

He also handed each of us our first Crunchy Biscuits merchandise, a little badge (pin for you Americans) featuring the Cougar in the Pantry art. Ohhhh it made me larf.

Gra captured the modelling pose.

And I captured the Guitar Hero pose.

We played a blinder of a session that night. I took to the Muppet vocals again starting off the soon to be classic track - Tits McGraw.

Gra sang Golden Showers with great riffage and a vast improvement on the drums by moi. Not content with playing bass, rhythm and lead Dan took to the bongoes. Oh yeah Chris has been dabbling on drums too which makes me happy cause then I can play frontman and strut me stuff.We also got to see the first steps in Chris and the End of Entertainment's Super Secret Mission which fills me with much glee for the future. More news on that later when we can reveal what exactly is going on. Suffice to say it is really cool and should involve our next piece of merchandise - The Crunchy Biscuits biscuit tin.

Also if you ever breakdown on the highway and see The Crunchy Biscuits Mystery Machine - expect to be laughed at as we drive past.
