Hal Camplin came to Bristol via an operation on his spine in New York to form a band with ex-Chronics frontman Jimmy Barnett.
They setup a gambling company called The Flying Foal instead. When Barnett was taken into care, Camplin set up an arts space in 2002 called Kangaroo Kourt where he recorded in a floorless loft studio. He helped develop a new performance scene with local poets and graffiti artists.Badgertrap is the purest and most lunatic black humour you'll ever cum across.NEWS...Album coming lookout 2009.
