The Arthur Montford Experience

About Me

Born out of a 3 day Jack Daniels, trebor mints and nachos session, The Arthur Montford Experience is the twisted brainchild of DJ Stramash. With over 25 years experience as a DJ, this is Stramash's first foray into making music since the infamous South Wales garage punk band 'Very Strange Machine' of the early to mid 80's. Previously called Kerfuffle Klux Klan, but changed after a burning cross was found on my West Hull lawn, The Arthur Montford Experience pays homage to the greatest football commentator of all time, a man of literary inspiration, who took the ugly, often brutal thing that is Scottish football and turned it into a thing of beauty, a poetic journey through 90 minutes of hoofed balls, thumpers and goalmouth stramashes. Believing that genre is far too French a word, T.A.M.E seek to break down these barriers by use of force and a large amount of semtex Stramash has honed his ears into slightly pointy listening devices that have enjoyed the decks and sex as resident with mid 90's party outfit Breach of the Peace and Mad Dog, Throbb and Axis as well as being a regular guest at Pussypower's infamous all nighters. He has also enjoyed the odd drunken cavorting in the beautiful fields, woods and swampy bits of Scotland especially at the Letham Free Festival. Stramash has played with acts as diverse as Splodgenessabounds, Spiral Tribe, Hardfloor,Dave Clark, Paris Angels and recently performed a dj/live set at The Outsider Festival Their influences range from '80s electronica such as Ultravox (Johnn Foxx era, not that wee poncey sidekick of bob geldof) and Cabaret Voltaire through to the darker side of noughties electro with a nice sprinkling of Scottish deity Ivor Cutler. They like breaking into Zoo's and playing extended laptop sets to the bewildered animals and hope to plan a world tour very soon where they will play famous zoological gardens around the globe. When they are not doing musicaly things,T.A.M.E like to relax by throwing peanuts at policemen and whistling medleys of Lonnie Donegan numbers. Despite reports in the most recent OK magazine, T.A.M.E are not having an affair with Jordan and Peter nor are they responsible for Lindsey Lohan's latest brazilian though they did spike Britney's drink. The band would like to thank their mum for making some scrumptious spam and marmalade sandwiches to go to the park with.ALWAYS REMEMBER - BONO IS AN ANAGRAM OF O NOB !!!Now back in Glasgow and writing new material after an 8 month hiatus. New tracks will be added soon, and a few live gigs are lined up once my Theremin comes back from Kwik Fit...
