Brutal Youth
From their own, slightly dubious biography:
"Art Brut met at the annual
Arthur Brut convention in Germany, these 5 complete strangers were
so taken with the eminent scientist's work they formed a band in
tribute to him there and then on the spot. They had some rehearsals
and then started playing some gigs, which went quite well. Art Brut
are working towards World Peace, so anything that goes wrong is
due to a plot against the band."
Art Brut are Eddie Argos (vocals),
Ian Catskilkin (guitar), Freddy Feedback
(bass), Mikey B (drums), Jasper Future
(guitar) and these are presumably not their given names. Following
the release of a string of cult underground singles and their debut
album, Art Brut were picked up in late 2006 by Labels
/ Mute, commencing with the release of the single
'Nag Nag Nag Nag' in November.
