11/12/1982

the insane picnic were no strangers to making appearances in the underbelly of the music press. Melody Maker particularly were fond of them, giving them their first mainstream music press review and later giving them a small feature on the release of "Magistrates & Saints".

Here they are in the legendary Sounds Obscurist chart. You can access the Obscurist chart archive here:

Following the success of his first album "Anna Ford's Bum" and his subsequent appearances as "The Hard" on Channel 4's iconic "The Tube", the legendary Wavis O'Shave re emerged in 1982, under the name Foffo Spearjig, delivering an album for Falling A Records entitled "Texican Raveloni (Bedside Songs For Problem Children)". He also contributed a bespoke version of "The Hard" for the Falling A comedy cassette "Up The Yama Yama". This single from the "Texican Raveloni" album has become a bit of a collectors item. The album marked the beginning of a long standing relationship with Falling A, producing many collaborations and mysterious cameo appearances.

You can find out more about Wavis via his "Felt Nowt - The Wavis O'Shave story" website.
