A fantastic Quietus article worthy of arguably the best website covering new music. But I do feel the need to take issue with the assertion that Excavating Rita features a “grief crazed Betterware salesman”. Given that this character is only able to visit the grave whilst on leave from a secure unit, this sounds implausible (unless it is referring to a previous occupation). Unpalatable as it seems, I think the reference to Betterware is in relation to a means of preventing decomposition or, perish the thought, a method of taking away body parts for consumption.

Here is the above mentioned article by Taylor Parkes on The Quietus - superb, probably the best thing I've ever read on them.

Not sure if this review from Buzz magazine has been posted before or should be on the gigs page! Ed's note: here would indeed be the right place - the piece seems more like an article than a gig review to me.

In show three of "a six programme history of novelty records" by Carlos Slazenger on Resonance FM in 2010, there's a chat with Geoff Davies which is worth a listen. Don't worry, the presenter isn't classing Half Man Half Biscuit as a novelty act, and takes great pains to point out that HMHB "put humour and satire in music without being a comedy band".

And here's an interview with Geoff Probe at The Quietus, where there is soon to be an article by Taylor Parkes on HMHB. If his piece on The Fall last year is anything to go by, it's something to look forward to.

Not online unless you're a subscriber to the magazine, but The Word magazine this month (May 2011 issue) has a decent and quite extensive article on Geoff Davies, Probe and Probe Plus. Update: OK, as it's a few months after the issue, I'm sure the magazine won't mind us putting a scan of the article online.

Nice illustration. Haven’t heard the Pam Ferris line before so we’ll file it under ‘F’.
