A bed....a stack of poetry books...crow-black lipstick...stolen standing stones...and those eyebrows, those dark dark eyebrows....
Sitting in the Silence Sitting in the Silence
For many long moments the young man stood and...and...and...and...and...and...and...and...
Life is Missing Life is Missing
Nige and Trev bow their heads in reverence as the chickens go berserk....let's go a bit lower.
I Believe in Nothing I Believe in Nothing
These days Nige and Trev believe in nothing....except plastic sheep masks. Let me hear it lord....
Lawful Wedded Amoeba Lawful Wedded Amoeba
Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded amoeba? Marbles...

On December 25th 2005 NIGE and TREV were announced as winners in no less than three categories in the 2006 International Online Music Awards (IOMAS)...BEST ARTIST, BEST COMPOSER and BEST SONG for their track entitled 'My Horse will never exist in Reality'. NIGE and TREV's drummer Dale Marshall also received the 2006 IOMA for BEST DRUMMER.
NIGE and TREV are a ranting, grooving, shrieking, psychedelic, experiMENTAL, soup hurling,pendulum obsessed jazz/rock/blues/classical/comedy/funk duo
who have a passionate devil-may-
care, 'no-holds-barred' approach to music resulting in a rapturous hotch potch of euphoric whistling funk-folk pandemonium peppered with fevered bursts of whammy bar werewolf gibberish reminiscent of Captain Beefheart and the great Lord Buckley with distant echoes of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. Mick 'Trev' Clack's battered Stratocasters wail and howl relentlessly at the three moons of Planet Klennaar carving out a ricketty balsa wood platform for Frank 'Nige' Fish's reckless, unstoppable, scatterbrained Hammer-Horror love sermons. He talks in tongues, he yelps, he growls, he plays guitar upside down, he yodels, he bellows, he serenades, he lectures and occaisonally he even resorts to SINGING!
NIGE and TREV also have a wacky website on MY SPACE.

Nige & Trev also rear their ugly heads in a band obsessed with all things aquatic - FRANK FISH AND THE FINS....click on this Soundclick logo to visit their garish underwater world of psychedelic, high energy, flipper-hatted panto-rock:Band/artist history
Nige trained at the Cutteslowe school of Pure Blues while Trev got drunk the other side of the wall and listened to Sibelius, Mario Lanza and Hawkwind whilst reading Superman 'Bizarro' comics over and over again. Nige thinks that Derek Trucks is the future of the electric guitar. Sometimes Trev agrees with him, sometimes he doesn't think there's going to BE a future.
Nige was born when he was 2 (twice)and was an apprentice City Council rat catcher before the fall of the He first met Trev in the Gents toilets at Wembley Stadium on July 30th 1966 where they formed the imaginatively titled 'Nige and Trev' as a humble tribute to Geoff Hurst's World Cup Final hat-trick. Both are under the illusion that the word 'illusion' is an illusion.
Once a year, they take a break from being NIGE & TREV and strap on pink fluffy bunny ears & papier mache buck-teeth transforming themselves into rampant hutch-dwelling riff-plunderers 'FRANK RABBIT AND THE BOBTAILS'. Click on the Soundclick logo below if you dare subject your ears to three ripsnorting tracks from their limited edition scratch'n'sniff quadruple live CD 'LETTUCE PRAY' and one mind-numbing cracker of a song entitled 'Rock Adorns My Pompous Breath' from their new soon to be released edible album 'CARROT IN HELL'...Have you performed in front of an audience?All musical activities now confined to the safety of the recording studio due to over enthusiastic use of cold canned soup at concerts.

Here are some reactions to the album:
'After listening to the first 15 minutes I went into a dark room to rock gently while muttering about the blithering squirrels. I've only just stopped barking and dribbling down my top. I could handle the first song but didn't have the kind of mental preparation that might have got me through the rest of the 70 odd minutes of gibbering pandemonium...'
TIM BEARDER - BBC Online- May 2003
'A musical own-goal. Childish drivel. I loved it!' HELEN MILKBREATH - 'Lurcher Weekly'
'Nige and Trev are the Burke and Hare of distorted tremelo arm torture. I winced in pain at the flurry of notes in Frank Fish's guitar onslaught on the triumphant final track 'To Catch a Baby Donkey'. He makes the guitar speak. It says "Put me down...PLEASE!!"

Yaow-yaowdah! Misery has never been so much fun. This little blues song is a delight to Ron's earlobes. Nige and Trev are the twins of tomfoolery, the sacred brace of oafs that we all need to brighten up our sorry Soundclick lives. Red shirts, leather from the stick, initials in the cement, misery, misery, misery....oh yeahhhhh. Tougher action would have been taken indeed....gloriously lazy slide licks, deliciously blue, female backing vocals and typically guttural FF rankings, rink lungs, auto-correct madness...of course I mean rantings...hurrah...huzzah...praise the lard for N&T and the endless supply of Jackdaw Cheese. Min dock!
Amoebas...and now lobsters. Hmmm... Nige and Trev claim that Professor Shylock is from outer space, that he made the human race and apparently he's got a face like a lobster. The thing is, I believe them. Nige and Trev's message for us all is clear as a murky puddle. They've given up everything for you, their house, their wife, their friends, everything...well, everything except their guitars, drums, microphones and recording equipment otherwise how on earth would this jaunty little ditty have been recorded? And now on to the song itself....Frank Fish's tirelessly creative verbal diarrhoea continues to dart and flow against the relentless backdrop of Clackie's chattering, stuttering guitars and Whale Marshall's eggy percussion. Dog barks, coughs and raspberries punctuate the jagged, snappy, cartoon rhythms. "He didn't have a drink since last November" sings FF, "...but he's still drunk all day long". That just about sums up how this song makes me feel. I am drunk on Nige and Trev...som
Well folks, I for one believe wholeheartedly in Nige and Trev. This new N&T composition is another little gem from the quirky Oxford duo and it doesn't disappoint in any way. Frank Fish's opening religious rant informs us that he "threw a brick through the vicar's window" and his gravelly Cutteslowe snarling is perfectly balanced by snippets of Bronwyn Leonard's beautiful gospelly jazz vocal. Not sure I've ever heard Nige and Trev 'go reggae' before but 'I Believe in Nothing' most certainly slips effortlessly into a reggae feel but then before we know what's happening we're suddenly immersed in smoky jazz, with a lazy blues lick creeping in and then it's the unique full blown Nige and Trev controlled chaos, an undefined outpouring from the very gut and soul, straight from the memory of the screaming womb. "I've lost myself in the blues..." growls an emotional Frank as Bronwyn softly moans "oh you and me baby..." and they've got us, hook line and sinker and as we hang in mid air, holdi
My life is 100% more enriched after listening to Nige and Trev's latest
Audio masterpiece 'Life is Missing'. Yes, You've done it again lads.
Yet another stunningly unique, in-yer-face, pulsating roller coaster of a
rock song....and by 'rock' I don't mean the usual yawning, tired, predictable, regurgitated, cliched, meaningless junk that normally appears in that genre of music ....this is a fresh, spontaneous, heart-stoppingly raw and juicy slice of dirty guitar tomfoolery with pounding stop/start drums and a growling, snarling vocal that echoes the spirit of Captain Beefheart. Nige and Trev are unlike any other band I have ever heard. Always a uniquely refreshing and often challenging listening experience...make no mistake, these guys continually manage to capture moments of pure magic in their compositions. Nige and Trev are out there on their own. Total creative genius in my opinion! Bless you Mr Clack and Mr Fish and your beloved musical associates. Your sense of the absurd mak
