In response to the terrace-style stomp of Cara-Lin we awaken the terrace-style chanting of this little terror.
"YOU'RE NOT SINGING, YOU'RE NOT SINGING, YOU'RE NOT SINGING ANYMORE..."I reckon by the time Bobby and his thugs are through with us we'll all be going home in a fucking ambulance.
Monster Bobby first reared his ugly head on Add Insult To Injury, the 4th album from, now imploded, analogue synth fetishists/abusers Add N To (X).
But who are Add N To (X)?
Add N To (X) formed in 1994, with a motley arsenal of vintage synths and a perverted mind-set at their disposal. They delighted, confused and titillated with their Avant-Hard brand of proto-electronic sci-fi robot-sex rock. They also made some saucy videos, which you can view at your risk: here and here. Then they fell apart in 2003, and an ugly synthesizer custody battle ensued.
There used to be a cool (Channel 4?) documentary about them, but it got removed from bloody youtube
