About Me


Blammo, kiddies! We're SPLEN! We're your favourite band!
CHAPTER 1: SPLEN AND YES
SPLEN formed in 2000-ish! Or maybe 2001! But it was definitely sometime near December! Most likely 2000, really! We made some silly midi albums! They were great! They were called "Alternative Goaps"! They were also called "Richard and Judy Hath Fallen Over Twice"! They were also called "Splendiferous"! Splendiferous was so awesome, a nice man called Joe remixed it! It was really silly!
CHAPTER 2: ROTUNDA
Rotunda!
CHAPTER 3: SCARY MUSIC
We made some symphonic black metals as well! They were called "The Ascension into Splendour"! They were also called "Splen E.P."! They were awesome, but we weren't very good at tremolo riffs and pained screams! So they sounded a bit silly! So we decided to make some grind! It was called "Fourteen Blasts of Thrilling Grind"! It was too silly, so we stopped making grind!
CHAPTER 4: SPLEN AND YES PART TWO
We changed our minds and made some silly pop music! It was called "Fat People are Sometimes Greedy"! We like this album! We play it lots and lots when we play live! It's full of happy songs about things! We like things! My name is Christopher, "NASA" is my favourite song! I don't know what Stuart's favourite song is!
CHAPTER 5: EXCITING ADVENTURE THROUGH SPLEN
Oh wow, the new Splen album is teh shit! It's called "Songs For Children To Sing, and it rocks like a beast! We wrote it in Luncarty and recorded it in Glasgow in July 2006! Stuart's flatmate Phil produced it, and when it was finished we all went and had a burger. The burgers were really tasty! Look out for Splen live in a city near you soon!
CHAPTER 6: MOO FOR SPLEN, NOW!
In the dying moments of 2006 Splen recorded a session for channel 4 radio in Glasgow with a nice man called Hermeet and a nice man called Nick. They put it on the internet in January 07 and you can download it from www.channel4radio.com if you go to the "slashmusic" page!! The show is presented by Tom Ravenscroft, son of John Peel! burgers! Tom is a nice man!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 18/02/2006
Band Website: http://www.splen.co.uk
Band Members: Stuart Finnie - Guitars, Vocals, Bass, Trombone
Christopher Bowes - Keyboards, Vocals, Programming, Accordion
Influences: Everything from Symphonic Black Metal through to Indie Rock, via Breakbeat Hardcore and Gangsta Rap.
Sounds Like: Imagine DEVO having a butsecks orgy with Wesley Willis, all the while being secretly watched by Mr Bungle from an underground bunker lined with Gruyère cheese. And still you're not even close to what Splen sounds like. Lets face it, I've not even attempted to describe Splen here... I've merely namedropped a few 'wacky alternative artists', and put them in a non-sequitur laden setting. In reality, we're just cheesy generic synth pop-rock.
Record Label: none
