the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players.
home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band.
everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment.
the ultimate bedroom band.
of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.Band/artist history
Some strange things have emerged from bedrooms round the world the Bunkbeds are perhaps the saddest and strangest.
They are possibly the worst band in the known universe but they just don’t care ‘cause they don’t realise.
To describe their music as Lo-Fi would be a major overstatement, in the twenty years or so that they have been recording music (their description) they have never purchased a piece of equipment valued at more than 20.00 and it shows.
oops i got a boss micro br an it cost 149.99 pounds sterling so i'm cheating now.Have you performed in front of an audience?never played live , never will tooo feart. but if anyone out there wants to perform any of my songs they are welcome to.
Your musical influences
pixies, flaming lips, divine comedy, danny wilson, lambchop, tom waits, the secret machines, peter hammill, van der graaf generator, U2, todd rundgren, the bathers, belle and sebastiane, josef k, the associates, captain beefheart and more.What equipment do you use?
pc, casio sk5 sampler (really cheap n nasty), cheapo guitar, cheapo midi keyboards, digital delay, cubase sx. not necessarily in that order or at the same time. purchased a boss microbr on december 2007 best buy i ever made and on february 2010 i made my most expensive musical purchase to date when i got a roland juno di.Anything else?
