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:

Story behind the song
A bluey-tinged-yet-yellowy-round-the-edge horror story persists in Cutteslowe, north Oxford, about the area's infamous two-dimensional Centaur farm. In the 1930s the city council built 300 rickety wattle and daub hovels alongside the golden, diamond-encrusted, middle class palaces that lined the banks of the fertile River Cherwell. The outraged Half-man-half-horse, ermine robed, plum-in-pious-gob residents immediately responded by building a giant wall from their own steaming wee and dung, dividing themselves from the new ‘Eyrezzee boiuy’ council slum. This imposing stinking screen of filth came down in 1957, but today you can still see the 150 foot high painting of a baby donkey on the roof of number ## Aldrich Road, a bitter reminder of class battle between N.I.G.E. (Nobs,Intellectuals,Ghosts & Eyrezzee-haters) and T.R.E.V. (Trapped Rats are Eyrezzee’s Vermin) The sprawling grey council estate is still there - a single shining Centaur's hoof amidst a pack of escaped wolves from Kidlington Zoo.. Time to interrupt the teaching...over to you Perry:
Lyrics
Don't interrupt your teaching young man Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! And listen with the young boys Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Do you know what I mean? Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! The unbelievable spectacle. Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Do you know what I mean? Ehhh? I should be obliged madam, if, would you mind seeing me at some more convenient time? Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Do you know what I mean? Oh b*** ! Oh Bless You! Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Do you know what I mean? Ehhh? I haven't come here to see you young man. Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Don't mind me. Anyway I'm off me f***in' 'ead man! Do you know what I mean? Ehhh? For a minute or two Bligh's Aunt set quietly For a minute or two Bly's ant sat quietly For a minute Bligh's Aunt set quietly...for a minute or two... And unwrapping one popped it in her mouth and began noisily suckin' it! Suckin' it! Suckin' it! Suckin' it!Suckin' it! Pained glance...paper on the floor... Suckin' it!...in 'er house...don't interrupt your teaching young man...don't mind me.

I am told that this particular Nige and Trev composition is one of two N&T songs that are based around a Perry Smith answer-phone message - the other song being the stupendous 15 minute opus 'Message For Jimmy'. Well folks, 'Off Me F***in' 'ead Ehhh???'is considerably shorter than 15 mintes but still packs a mightily surreal Nige and Trev punch. Perry's repeated admission that he is perhaps a little off -the -wall, Frank Fish's gutteral rantings (who IS Bligh's Aunt?), Mick Clack's stuttering wah-wah guitar bursts, Paul Gibbon's backward vocals and a wonderfully funky little beat all adds up to a corker of a song. Not everyone's cup of tea I am sure. The f-word will upset a few listeners but I like it and I'm giving it 5 stars for it's freshness, it's unbounded creativity and it's reckless fun. This world needs Nige and Trev. Bless them!
