Bones & The Aft,
A celebration of DIY
culture and a rough mixture of art, street poetry and eccentric electric pop music,
Bones & The Aft really are band like no other, sometimes described as Primal Rock Theatre with their homemade
costumes, elaborate pop–up stage sets, stark state-of-the-nation storytelling
and virtuoso musicianship. They are:
Admiral Lord Biscuit
has played drums with Ivich Lives, the Doctors of Love,
Florence Welch, Rum Shebeen and many others. Half accomplished multi
instrumentalist and half Mad Inventor, he is the current holder of the London South Bank Centre International Piano
Scrapheap Challenge trophy. There is nothing he cannot play!!
Ian Mckean.
Making his name in the eighties with Generation X offshoot
Twenty Flight Rockers and later the Virgin signed Balaam and the Angel,
guitarist Mckean provides raw yet sensitive guitarscapes to contain and enhance
the emotionally charged observational
storytelling of…
John Bently,
provider of words, costumes and hand painted sets. Although his association with Mckean
stretches back to their schooldays, Bently is best known for his
internationally collected long running series of art in book form, The Liver and Lights Scriptorium. Bones
and the Aft are these books brought to life, by a fearlessly entertaining,
memorably passionate performer….
“A mythical metropolis inhabited by a teeming
population of sharply drawn, richly detailed
characters”.
Aiden Dunne. The Irish Times
“A
heart-warmingly honest and funny portrayal of the romance, nightmares and sheer
mundane hell of travel.” Jon
Lander. Bookartbookshop, London
“…. an
intriguing, if left-field guitar-dominated experimental poetry-to-music venture
from Bones & The Aft.” FRoots
Magazine
“….think a mixture of Charles Dickens
and BBCs ‘The Office’ (weird I know, but go with it). He captures the rather
beautiful melancholy and mundane theatricality of city living.” Lucy Binnington. Brixton Blog.
