NIGE and TREV worry about the weight of their toy speedboat as they both kneel in a guitar shaped puddle and worship a pottery windmill. They're smiling but do they mean it?

Ranting, grooving, shrieking, psycho-jazz/rock/blues/classical/comedy/funk mayhem
On December 25th 2005 NIGE and TREV were announced as winners in no less than three categories in the 2006 International Online Music Awards (IOMAS)...BEST ARTIST, BEST COMPOSER and BEST SONG for their track entitled 'My Horse will never exist in Reality'. NIGE and TREV's drummer Dale Marshall also received the 2006 IOMA for BEST DRUMMER. NIGE and TREV are a ranting, grooving, shrieking, psychedelic, experiMENTAL, soup hurling,pendulum obsessed jazz/rock/blues/classical/comedy/funk duo who have a passionate devil-may- care, 'no-holds-barred' approach to music resulting in a rapturous hotch potch of euphoric whistling funk-folk pandemonium peppered with fevered bursts of whammy bar werewolf gibberish reminiscent of Captain Beefheart and the great Lord Buckley with distant echoes of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. Mick 'Trev' Clack's battered Stratocasters wail and howl relentlessly at the three moons of Planet Klennaar carving out a ricketty balsa wood platform for Frank 'Nige' Fish's reckless, unstoppable, scatterbrained Hammer-Horror love sermons. He talks in tongues, he yelps, he growls, he plays guitar upside down, he yodels, he bellows, he serenades, he lectures and occaisonally he even resorts to SINGING! NIGE and TREV also have a wacky website on MY SPACE. MICK 'Trev-or-is-it-Nige?'CLACK has his own website on MY SPACE... FRANK 'Nige-or-is-it-Trev?' FISH has his own website on MY SPACE... Nige & Trev also rear their ugly heads in a band obsessed with all things aquatic - FRANK FISH AND THE FINS....click on this Soundclick logo to visit their garish underwater world of psychedelic, high energy, flipper-hatted panto-rock:

Lyrics
I smiled but I didn't mean it I smiled but I didn't mean it Swimming upstream against the grain Nearly at the top he'll be here soon Wet knees Too much praying in puddles But all the healers are foe I'm perturbed He loves me but hates himself The world will be here long after we're gone All his books and push it Down the slope to the sea Books on a beach will confuse that couple I could feel them breathing down my neck so I let them go in front While I fiddled with the wart on my neck I smiled but I didn't mean it Frown and sit in the middle of it Worry about your weight while You fiddle with a pottery windmill. Place a bunch of daffs on the top chair Put on a ridiculous posh voice when someone calls over the fence... Oh hello, yes, of course... I'm leaving sweet Make your life feel good Baby baby You know, you know He found the key to my toy speedboat Your loud guitars won't save you Throw some light on you No but I didn't love loud guitars when I found that that key in the old green shoebox Make your life feel good Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Good, good. The seed was already sown Throw some light on you. Til Baby Jesus knew Tell Baby Jesus news Of course he did. He is the baby Jesus isn't he? I can't believe they would nail a baby to a cross Poor little thing He would just, no, I would...I'd just... what's going on? Yeah whatever. Nice fence. Cheers. You don't want to buy a windmill do you? No but me and 99 of my churchgoing friends would like somewhere to sit while we have our tickets to heaven checked. Half of me is rented to an American. I said that he were American with child... The world will be here long after we're gone. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
