I Quit Sergeant Buzfuz

April 2, 2009

Yes, on Saturday 21st March I played my last gig with Sergeant Buzfuz at the New Cross Inn.

The supporting band was Dynamo Garage, who were actually pretty good. The singer sounded a bit like the guy from Shed 7, but I didn’t hold that against them. The drummer was amazing, and when I told him he just said “thanks” instead of “yeah, I know” like some arrogant dicks do, so good on him. Anyway, after the gig I couldn’t actually remember any of their songs, but I remembered they were good, so check them out.

So why did I decide to quit? It wasn’t anything to do with the music or the other band members, I just didn’t really feel like playing gigs at the moment, and didn’t want to be committed to anything right now. At the time of writing this, I have no other gigs lined up with Goodbye Sergeants or The Pistol Gang either, so I am just looking forward to a bit of a break, taking some pressure, and just seeing what happens.

Hey look, I’m in a magazine! And a colour photo as well! And who says it’s a naff, posed photo with us all using our phones? We just can’t stand talking to each other.

Buzfuz in NME

6/10’s not bad going for an NME review I reckon. At least it’s actually about the music and not about the band’s image or something. We’d be fucked if it was.

Here’s me with Marc Riley after playing on his BBC 6 show in Manchester. He’s actually posing with the whole band here, not just me, but this is my blog so I’ve cut them out so you can see me better. My blog, my rules. Really nice guy.

Sergeant Buzfuz live session on BBC Radio 6

September 9, 2008

Tom Robinson is a very nice man. You should check out his show some time. I must admit I didn’t realise he did that song “2-4-6-8 Motorway”, which I actually know.

We played Here Come The Popes Part 3, Rebellion, and Cab, and Tom even happily accepted a Goodbye Serrgeants cd off me. We’re even getting paid too. Unbelievable.

(Thanks to Joe for mentioning Goodbye Sergeants to Tom in the first place…)

Sergeant Buzfuz 12 Bar Tonight

June 11, 2008

Ok, so thanks to all who showed up/hung around to see us play the bandstand in Sutton! We had a really great time despite our concerns (they also told us to ‘tone it down’ a bit just before we went on, which we basically ignored), and got a much better reaction than we were expecting!

Now, the band have no more shows booked for a while, but I thought you might be interested that I am trading in my charismatic/arrogant/annoying frontman persona to sit behind the drums again for a gig tonight at the 12 Bar Club with Sergeant Buzfuz. Should be on about 9.15, and the set will be dominated by new songs from the band’s as yet unreleased 4th album… tracks from which you can listen to on their myspace (i’m not playing on them before you ask)

here’s the info from the mailout… Maybe see you there!

BLANG @ THE 12 BAR PRESENTS:
12 BAR CLUB, DENMARK STREET, WC2
WEDNESDAY JUNE 11TH

MICHAEL EDEN
SERGEANT BUZFUZ
THE BOYCOTT COCA-COLA EXPERIENCE
and a late set from HEAD AND SHOULDERS

£5
Doors 7.30
Bar ‘till 1 am.

10 45 HEAD AND SHOULDERS
Head and Shoulders are Jowe Head (TV Personalities/Swell Maps/Olive’s Hairy Custard/Angel Racing Food/etc) and Lee McFadden (Alternative TV/ARF). Surreal off-kilter pop songs in bright colours laced with vintage Bernard Albrechtian guitar riffs.

10 00 MICHAEL EDEN
Looped ethereal hymns reverberating from a melting star. Sheffield’s Michael Eden favours leaving the stage while heavy-breathing to the audience through a telephone.

9 15 SERGEANT BUZFUZ
“like Nick Cave on the dole” (Sounds XP)
“REM would kill, hopefully each other, for songs like these” (Unpeeled)
“uneasy listening” (Flux)
www.myspace.com/sergeantbuzfuz

8 30 THE BOYCOTT COCA-COLA EXPERIENCE
Nursery rhymes slowed down to funereal pace. Like a narcotic English folk tale version of Patrick McCabe’s ‘The Butcher Boy’ as soundtracked by Syd Barrett and Jake Thackeray.
