Bogshed were a pop group formed in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England in 1984, originally as The Amazing Roy North Penis Band. ==History== The band formed in early 1984 and comprised Phil Hartley (vocals), Mark McQuaid (guitar), Mike Bryson (bass guitar), and Tris King (drums).〔Henderson, Dave (1986) "Bog Shed: Toilet Humour", ''Sounds'', 11 January 1986, p. 6-7〕 Bryson also produced the cover art for the band's releases.〔 The name came from a misheard line in a song, with Hartley explaining "I like the way that the mouth moves when you say Bog Shed".〔 They were helped initially by The Membranes, leading to several performances in London, and the band's first release was the ''Let Them Eat Bogshed'' EP on John Robb's Vinyl Drip label in 1985.〔 By the time of this release, the band had already played around 35 concerts and, according to Hartley, written between 80 and 100 songs.〔 Not really sounding like anyone before or since, they had much in common with some of the bands on the ''Ron Johnson'' label. Bryson explained their approach to songwriting: "We start out being totally out of order and out of key and we turn things like that into a pop song. Most people try to do it the other way round."〔 They released two albums and several singles as well as recording five Peel Sessions,〔(Bogshed at the BBC's ''Keeping It Peel'' website )〕 before splitting in 1987. Two of these sessions, from 1986, were issued on the ''Tried and Tested Public Speaker'' EP in January 1987, described by Liz Evans in ''Underground'' as "a mixture of throbbing, jogging rhythm and a bleating voice which rolls those words around and spits them out with plenty of spleen and bile".〔Evans, Liz (1987) "Bogshed ''Tried and Tested Public Speaker''", ''Underground'', April 1987, p. 18〕 Bogshed appeared on ''NME''s ''C86'' compilation. The term ''shambling'' was coined by John Peel to describe their sound although the term later became more commonly used to describe bands such as The Pastels. Mike Bryson currently records under the name of Forkeyes. A split mini-album 'Vier Mit Vier', with tracks by electronic musician Marcus H (Soiled) and Forkeyes will be released on Elm Lodge Records. Phil Hartley died on October 11th 2006. Tris King died on December 26th 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bogshed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
