Also check out our interview here.

Well, what the hell can you say about Man In Fridge? Quite a lot, but as the self proclaimed ‘worst band in the world’, not much of it is complimentary. Formed out of the ashes of the band Skeema, the three remaining members were joined by local Solo Artist Elison on Bass Guitar, bringing with him a new writing style, a new name and a very different artistic direction. Formed in January 2005 as Special Guests, this Birmingham based four piece managed to have their first gig by mid February, and to their great surprise, found they were received with open arms by the crowd.

The band have now found their feet with their new name ‘Man In Fridge’, and have set themselves out on a path of always entertaining, even if the music isn’t that good. This has paid off and they have quickly formed tight alliances with local bands and promoters alike, with many gig goers intrigued to see what the worst band in the world can do. “Its fun because we just don’t really care that much, we get on stage and jump around with guitars a bit. Everyone loves that” says Elison, “I really like carrots” adds Brian.

And Brian does like his carrots, but more importantly here he is the lead singer and second guitarist. He is joined by Higgs on lead guitar, Gilb on drums and Elison on bass and occasional lead vocals. The four of them are Man In Fridge, and always will be. Their intense live musical and visual performances make for great gigs time and time again and as no one, not even the band, really know what’s going to happen its all the more exiting. Get down to a gig soon, as its only a matter of time before everyone realises how bad they really are.

Wow. Its like, 12 whole months later and the worst band in the world is still together and kicking some booty. And i'm not talking your average home grown booty either, i'm talking a big texan booty fed up with meats and potatos to create a king sized booty to kick.

We're all a little older, and a little wiser. I'm starting to get hair in really weird places man. Oh yeah, this year, gilb finally got pubes.

Well what have we done? A string of respectable gigs, some recording, the adding and removing of a manager quicker than gilb can get his wang out when tang is mentioned. And we've ended up recording something of a mini-album which will be available to listen to on this very site in the next month.

We're looking forward to kicking up some stink this year, what with our rouse to influence the media with the death of Alan Titchmarsh being foiled by his latest radio show. No-one beliveved us when we said he was talking from beyond the grave. So after the lawsuit we decided to re-think our approach, and as yet, havent come up with anything better than Terry Wogan in a sex scandal with some royal woman.

Well we hope you all are ready for a year of fun and frollocks and many other enjoyable things besides. We're going to continue to write perform and record to our own standard and unique style that we love so much (you mean crap?...a voice heralds) ..........

yes.

Crap.
