This site is a tribute to one of the greatest bands to ever record, and is here to show the masses their wonderful music. I am just a fan, so do NOT send me emails with questions for the band. I do not know them personally. Here is a biographyFrom the Flying Nun Site:Pioneers of the lo-fi aesthetic the Tall Dwarfs spluttered into life during 1979 by singers/songwriters Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate following the demise of their previous band, the legendary Toy Love. Recording on Knox’s four-track machine, the duo debuted with the 1981 EP Three Songs, highlighted by the classic "Nothing's Going to Happen." Back then, the Tall Dwarfs represented the D.I.Y. ethic at its purest — songs were all recorded at home (performed in bedrooms, hallways and the like) and the band produced all of their own videos and promotional materials. In 2002, nothing has changed, bar the recorded medium! With the advent of digital technology, our duo have reached into that realm to investigate the myriad of possibilities of time-stretching, looping and cut’n’paste editing that the Tall Dwarfs had already perfected previously on magnetic tape. Which is not to say they have forsaken that wonderful medium, 99% of the new record being recorded to 1/2" 8-track tape before dumping to digital.In between the band have amassed a huge back catalogue of EP’s and full-length albums, as well as healthy solo recording careers. The Tall Dwarfs have toured the USA, Europe and Australia. Their records have been licensed and released internationally by various record labels including Homestead, Rough Trade and Carrot Top USA.DISCOGRAPHYEP’s Three Songs – 1981 Louis Likes His Daily Dip – 1982 Canned Music – 1983 SlugBucketHairyBreathMonster – 1984 Throw A Sickie – 1986 Dogma – 1988 Gluey, Gluey and The Ear Friend - 1998ALBUMS That’s The Long And The Short Of It - 1985 Hello Cruel World (collected first 4 EP’s) – 1987 The Short and Sick of It (comp of 85 LP & Sickie EP) - 1992 Weeville – 1990 Fork Songs – 1991 3 Ep’s – 1994 Stumpy – 1997 Fifty Flavours Of Glue - 1998 Sky Above the Mud Below - 2002
