About Me

Myspace Contact Tables }/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////Freaky Fortnight are a 3 piece based in South Wales, UK. People who like the band tend to be farmers, people into 90's grunge and art bands, females, old punks from the sex pistols days, artists and loners.Freaky Fortnight formed in November 2004 with Lee on guitar and Bronwen on bass. The band went through 2 drummers before settling the line up in Summer 2006 when festival friend Jonny Crow (from Crowzone) joined on drums. Freaky Fortnight put out a 3 track EP with DIY punk label Cat Corpse Records Autumn 2005 with Rich (now in FilthyHabits) on drums. 2006 took the band across the UK with Red Martian from Seattle and the band (with the help of Martin from Gash Collective) set off to Belfast, London, Manchester and ended up back in shitty Aberaman.Freaky Fortnight released a 10 track CD in January 2007 through Tidy Like Records called Huckabees 'Tales of a Freaky Fortnight' - you may get this cd sent to you on request or you can steal one from a merch stall at a gig if you're cunning, failing that you can always contact Tidy Like Records and perhaps you will have some luck there...BBC Radio Wales music bloke Adam Walton paid for the band to record in Nott in Pill in December 06 with Jeff and Ginge (who used to be in Dubwar and Skindred) - the result of this was a session that aired on BBC Radio Wales in January 07 and 4 new tracks were played. These tracks are currently sitting around on various cdr's but hopefully will be out there somehow soon...just to be awkward the band changed its name to huckabees briefly but have now changed it back!!!///////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////WORDS by noodle
