Federal Drugs Administration

About Me

NOW FOLLOW THE FDA LINK BELOW TO DOWNLOAD US FROM iTUNES! (AND KEEP US IN HALF PINTS OF BEER!)THERE ARE NOW THREE FDA PAGES....THIS ONE... FDA2 (SEE OUR TOP FRIENDS) WHERE ODDITIES AND OLD SONGS GO TO DIE... AND NOW...FDA3 (SEE IN TOP FRIENDS) WHERE WE PUT OUR "SERIOUS" STUFF - IF YOU FANCY HEARING WHAT WE DO WHEN WE AIN'T SWEARING... FOLLOW THE LINK IN OUR FRIENDS SECTION BELOW! We comprise of Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny. We first came to public notice follwing regular TV appearances on the top-rated Andy Williams show, but also appeared on television's Jerry Lewis show. Initially known as FDA, we recorded for Andy Williams record label Barnby. Our potential was recognised by Mike Curb, who saw us as likely rivals to the star-studded Jackson 5. Signed to MGM records, Federal Drugs Administration recorded the catchy "One Bad Apple" which topped the US charts for 5 weeks. Before long, FDA had become a national institution and various members including Jimmy, Donny and Marie enjoyed hits in their own right. By the time FDA -mania hit the UK in 1972 we peaked with the ecologically-conscious "Crazy Horses" complete with electric organ effects. Our clean cut image and well scrubbed good looks brought....hold on. Shit.Shit shit shit SHIT. We've just confused ourselves with The Osmonds, there. Shit. Sorry about that, it's so easily done.

Member Since: 19/01/2007
Band Members: Richie; Vocals & any other business Haydn; Drums Lee; Bass Wynter's Mam; Occasional Vox
Influences: erm. Pistols. Slipknot. Sabbath. Oasis. Rachel Stevens. Nirvana. Dead Kennedys. John Carpenter. Jamie Hewlett. Smiths. Lennon (NOT McCartney).Elvis. Jesus & Mary Chain. Half Man Half Biscuit. Johnny Cash. Spot which one is wrong (and its not Rachel Stevens).This is the official "Androgynoel" video made by the visual genius that is Happy Toast Productions. A huge thankyou to them, and go check out their other stuff just by putting in Happy Toast to the search engine of your choice..... We are very lucky to have such an amazing talent on side, doncha think?
Sounds Like: We should inform you that we are written, produced, orchestrated, managed, choreographed and played by Magnus Scheving. Well he does everything fucking else, why not us?4 people in a room making a racket. We can't really hype it any more than that. Sorry.But heres how it went on. We were down The Moon Under Water in Deansgate one night (a Thursday) and moaning about the fact we were in The Moon Under Water in Deansgate one night (a thursday) when we should be doing something less boring withour lives that could still involve alcohol and shouting. So Richie suggested we form a band and since therewas nothing on TV we did. We work in plumbing, painting and decorating and Subway, apart from Richie who works at home doing nothing and getting paid. The Daily Mail hate him. And we blame the fact we didn't get up off our arses until now. We're not very good, but we're the best in our immediate area (and in the price range, promoters) and you know David Watts? He wants to be like us.
