About Me

The Unfortunates are based in Liverpool, England and have recorded four albums. Since they are a one-man band it would be fatal if they ever split up, so they stay together by necessity. Earlier records utilised double basses, metal dustbins, children's toys, the insides of pianos, drum machines and broken steel guitars, though of late the noises are less deranged. The albums are: Trouble In Bohemia (2001), Striking Thirteen (2003), Dial (2003), The Natural Engineer (2006). There have also been a number of EPs, with a new album due later this year.If anyone would like more information or music, just mail and we'll oblige.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
