About Me

ToolsForMySpace.comIn the late 80s, Neale Harmer, fresh from the demise of Hoods Yeah Right! and No Geraniums decided he wanted to record some of his own songs. Spurred on by the use of a four track portastudio and drum machine Neale put out his own cassette albums under the name of Fragile beginning with "Autumn" in 1988.
In the early 90s Neale put together a band with former Hoods and Geraniums drummer, Steve Goodridge, former Beat Circus singer and guitarist Mark Cohen and bass player Rob Felstead. In 1994 they played their debut gig as Fragile and the following year recorded "Pass Me By" and "Don't Turn Away". These songs were eventually heard by Germany's foremost indie pop label Apricot and were released on the fabulous compliation "Airpop" in 1998. Fragile also released a 4 song limited edition 7" single on Apricot Records which sold out fast. Following on from this the band completed their own full length CD, "Norwegian Jazz".
Neale has continues to record songs under the Fragile name.
Our first ever video! Made from a compilation of video clips recorded at our rehearsal on 28.07.09. The song "Worlds Apart" was originally recorded in 1998!
This video was recorded at our debut gig on 13.03.94 at Worthing's Inn On The Prom. The pub was dark, we wore black but our sonic jangleness scythed through the murk... or something! The song featured was the first in the set and is titled "I'm Not Here To Make You Happy" or known affectionately by the band as "Shut Yer Face"!
