About Me

Men In Speedos are a Belfast based trio and some say have similar powers to The Incredible Four or The X-men, except there are only three of them....With a soft spot for film samples, the tracks have a definite sound track quality, some with dance floor appeal. We thank kindly all the various record stations & DJs round the globe who've played our music ... and for those who've said they loved it, the bottle of whiskey is in the post.Our style is very diverse, and remarkably difficult to pinpoint in terms of genres, so just listen to it, and enjoy!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/27/2005
Band Website: redlabelrecords.com
Band Members: Twinkle Fingers (Shane McCourt) is so named due to his ability to irrepairably change tracks, software & hardware for the greater good in this world with the push of a button, or the flick of an enter key ... Chooch (Derek Jones) harks from a time when we were known as the Fat Cats, and he mooched like Chooch, but let him loose in your studio and he will find bleeps & squeaks the likes of which Gods have never heard ... and Uberbeard (Gawain Morrison) uses the power of his beard and it's magnetic field to disrupt computers, software & hardware, but usually when no-one is about to verify that it wasn't him, but a rip in the space-time continuum!!
Influences: Orbital, ninja tunes, a bit of the Crystal method, krafty kraftwerk, the moomons from mooman valley, hendrix, morcheeba, breeders, all things science, video, film and abstract art, a sprinkling of chemicals and of course red armbands and lets not forget captain corell's mandoline running in the 3.45 at the curragh
Sounds Like: What ever you want it to sound like
Record Label: Red label Records
Type of Label: Indie
