No 302: Bo Pepper

No 302: Bo Pepper

Hometown: LondonThe lineup: Dolly Molloy (vocals, guitar, microkorg), Nick Cartwheel (guitar, backing vocals), Will E Nailor (bass, backing vocals), Jonny Dangerous (drums, backing vocals)The background: Bo Pepper are a female-fronted four-piece from London who won't blow your mind with their startling sonic invention but will massage your senses with their effervescent punk-pop. They don't currently have a record deal, nor do they have a manager, but they have managed to excite attention across the board, from Jonathan Ross on Radio 2 and Steve Lamacq on 6 Digital to Perez Hilton at pop-gossip mainline www.perezhilton.com, who has described the band as like Polly Harvey singing with the Gossip's rhythm section or KT Tunstall reborn as a Strokes/Stooges groupie. Or, as Bo Pepper themselves put it: "We r unsigned, unmanaged, unrubbish."










Their single Blinkandyou'llmissit! Was, in the band's own words, recorded "for about 10p and seemingly mixed by a deaf child" and sounds like the Knack's My Sharona shrieked by Karen O through Julian Casablancas' voice box (Gordon Raphael is keen to produce them). But even if their shrill-but-sassy punk sonatas don't appeal, they've got these great sock puppets that they use for their artwork and videos, which have already earned them a fair degree of cult interest on the internet. Their stop-motion animated shorts feature the cutest/creepiest knitted creatures since Mr Oizo and have so far notched up over 700,000 hits on the web, making them more popular than Sooty but less so than Orville in the hands-up-animal-jacksies stakes. Some of their other achievements include winning an unsigned band competition held by Q magazine, playing a set for Channel 4's Road To V and securing a synch for an online Coca Cola ad campaign with their track Buses, which gets revenge on behalf of females everywhere (following yesterday's girl-repelling New Band of the Day, Isosceles) by comparing fellas to the titular mode of transport.If you want to see/hear for yourselves what the radio and TV fuss is all about, Bo Pepper have virtually colonised London's indie dives such as the Dublin Castle, the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen and the Soho Revue where they can regularly be found supporting the likes of Cage the Elephant, Pete and the Pirates and Bombay Bicycle Club. We're still not sure if their name sounds like a fizzy drink or the cure for a hygiene disorder, but they're a splendid way to waste your time.The buzz: "The music is great! Like St Etienne rubbing sun-tan lotion over T-Rex on a crowded beach."The truth: They're a Primark Gossip fronted by a malnourished Beth Ditto.Most likely to: Coax Elastica and Echobelly out of retirement.Least likely to: Encourage Louise Wener to pen a treatise on the influence of Sleeper on 21st century indie-rock.What to buy: Blinkandyou'llmissit! is available to download from iTunes.File next to: Elastica, Republica, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.Links:www.myspace.com/bopepper and www.bopepper.comTomorrow's new band: Lucy & The Caterpillar

Originally hailing from West Chester, PA, the roots of CKY stretch along back up to 1992, when friends Deron Miller (vocals, guitar) and Jess Margera (drums) met in high schoolhouse math course, finally forming the mathematical chemical group Foreign Objects together; they issued the five-song EP The Undiscovered Numbers & Colours on the Distant Recordings mark in fall 1995. By the side by side year, the two had begun releasing less metal, more radio-friendly euphony under the distinguish Oil, though continuing to phonograph record Foreign Objects work on the side of kernel. Picking up their third gear live bassist, Ryan Bruni, they released two more than EPs, 1996's Lifeline and a 1997 self-titled one.


During transcription roger George Huntington Roger Sessions for their debut full-length, the Vegetable oil trio met producer Chadic language I. Ginsburg (aka CIG), wHO was earlier long asked to join on for trade good as their indorsement guitar player. This addition marked Oil's 1998 dissolution and CKY's nativity, as the guys stopped nerve-wracking to appeal to the mainstream and changed their call to Camp Kill Yourself (Patrick Henry Valentine Miller idea up the do, thought it would bring out a perfective tense title for a repugnance moving picture show). Demos were recorded and the quartet caught a break when Margera's pro-skateboarding brother, Blast, was featured doing zany acts on the picture Startle Away a Building, which featured a tenor ("Book of Book of Genesis 12a") from CKY. Bam was offered to do other videos and called upon his brother's band to issue the soundtracks -- resulting in the release of the 1999's Bivouac Kill Yourself, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which included completely the songs from the videos.


Summer camp Kill Yourself appeared as dowry of the 1999 Warped Circuit, though they were kicked forth near the demolition afterward joining a fan-generated protest of hitch of tariff vendition prices. The band had besides sign with Volcom, reissued Summer camp Kill Yourself, Vol. 1 with different nontextual matter, and officially changed their call to CKY (quick fixing their original decision of Bivouac) on the request of Volcom by the identification number 1 half of 2000. In February, they dismissed Bruni, thwarted in his functioning, and sign up bassist Vern Zaborowski in his place in meter for the summer's Warped Circuit, too issue a limited edition EP, Withdraw the Simulator. CKY's songs consume besides been featured on the popular MTV show up Jackass (which conspicuously featured unspoilt ol' Bam), and in 2001, both volumes of Encampment Kill Yourself were reissued, just as the mathematical group was planetary house to Def Jam/Island.


When the Pass through Destroy Rebuild LP appeared in Sept 2002, CKY tested to living it as the opening do for Axl Rose's reconstituted Guns N' Roses. By nature, that enlistment self-destructed most like a shot. Only CKY carried on, and Infiltrate's heavy alt-metal auditory sensation helped distance them (fairly) from being just a "skate" circle. The Videodisc Infiltrate Destroy Reconstruct: The Video Album appeared in November 2003. Zaborowski exited the isthmus in mid-2004 during roger Sessions for their third album and (as what happened when Bruni left wing field before) Ginsburg handled bass until a replacing was be.


CKY returned in June 2005 with An Answer Tin Be Launch, unflagging in their self-promotional strut -- Moth miller exhausted a great grapple of the go up to the record notice Cyberspace messages about his band's come awesomeness. Around the like time, they as well revealed their newest member, ex-All That Clay bassist Matt Deis, world Wellness Establishment likewise became the first bass player to aid in songwriting. Touring ensued in support of the record, though CKY and Island parted slipway in early 2006; the guys inked a handle with Geococcyx californianus by the year's end.
