About Me


LOUDER THAN THUNDER!
BIGGER THAN JESUS!
BETTER THAN HONEYCUBE!!!
In the words of founding Gasman, Mr Liam "Clarkey Cat" Clarke - "Who the fuck, what the fuck?!" Well, "who the fuck" indeed, Mr. Clarke! In answer to your question, the "who the fuck", being the "Bogus Gasman", and the "what the fuck", being the unique progpunk dub-core stylings of said "who the fuck". Had Mr. Clarke been in a less inebriated state he may well have asked "where the fuck" and "when the fuck" or, indeed "how the fuck" did the band start. Well, in answer to those theoretically posed questions (theoretical, because he probably wouldn't have asked those questions anyway what with being a bit pissed and actually being there when and wherever said occurences may or may not have occurred)...
The story begins...
Rising from the ashes of Toy and atonal punks Kittenhead Gearshifter like a phoenix from a colostomy bag, the latest incarnation of the many headed beast that is Bogus Gasman burst into life in the summer of the year of Arnold 2003 screaming and spraying an unsuspecting public with shit, amniotic fluids and dub laced hardcore. What we lack in covers we make up for in brass, fat old basslines and guitars that go chk chk chk chk. Anyone who knows the old Gasman prepare to be surprised, anyone who dont- bollox to ya! Put yer socks on mate!

Sounds Like: Totally different to the demo now... we were drunk... it was dark... it shouldn't have happened that way... we swear it'll never happen again!
Sounds like... the salvation army band (having just been on a residential weekend in Jamaica, smoking loads of weed and chilling the fuck out and learning to play dub stylee but still retaining all that regimented tightness and sometimes matching uniforms) having a head on collision with another busload of rag-tag raggamuffin ruffians who like to play a bit of punk, a bit of dub, a wee bit of reggae and all that jazz in between.
Recently we've written some fat new ones, re-jigged and re-written old ones, got an even PHatter new brass section (four horns and counting) and have tentative plans to take over the world... or at least some parts of Leytonstone and a bit of New Cross - that'll do for the time being
Romeo done
