Flannel: Let's all go to a ketamine party

"Flannel emerged from Brighton's anarcho-narco underground scene in 1996. It consisted of Bloke (bass), Cosmo (guitar and voice) and Fat Stan (drums). The original line-up till 1997 also included Mohammed el Gimley (tablas) and DiscoDaveDaRave (keyboards).

Hijacking producer Al Scott, (Levellers, Gunshot), their first release was the hip-hop/punk collision Just Another Screwed Up White Kid with a Guitar, (March 1996). Shunning the usual methods of "making it," in true DIY culture stylee, the band toured the UK's network of squats, summer festivals, protest sites such as the anti-Newbury bypass camp, and Reclaim the Streets environmental protest parties. They also committed guerrilla gigs in shopping centres, parks and other highly inappropriate places."
