Influences: Below is the new film made to present at the University of Salford conference about The Fall We have re-made the classic album This Nation's Saving Grace by The Fall track-by-track with many guest vocalists and musicians. It is slated for release in early September.

Below is the animatic video for the 2007 Globo single, a cover of Devo's Whip It. Ignore the crappy broken-up image that Youtube has chosen to display, it actually looks right good when you click and watch, honest.

Sounds Like: GLOBO PERFORMS…

See them play Devo's The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise for a crowd of bemused hippies!
