Part 2 of 'Message For Jimmy'...'I've lost the momentum!' snarls Bay-bee Jesus against a disturbing backdrop of Jurassic whispers, echoey saxes and stuttering jazz percussion. "Now like the spawn of fish..."

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. MICK 'Trev-or-is-it-Nige?'CLACK has his own website on MY SPACE... FRANK 'Nige-or-is-it-Trev?' FISH has his own 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:

Story behind the song
Can’t see a bloody thing but I must be near the top by now. The knees of my trousers are wet. Too much time spent praying for peace in puddles. I stack a hundred plastic school chairs one on top of the other until the tower reaches the ceiling and I place a bunch of daffodils on the top chair. I know it’s an imitation of her old room but the daily ritual keeps me going. I may not have much spring in my step but I have an abundance of winter in my heart. Crossing dual carriageways, writing cheques, buying sliced brown bread, yawning, crossing my legs, staring into the ink-black darkness, waiting for Barry the mute postman, pulling hairs from my nose with tartan tweezers, stroking my stubble…it all reminds me of her room. I hang a ‘closed’ sign on my chest, shut my roadmap eyes and turn the radio up loud to shut out the crying of the sandwich on my Doc Marten boot. 'Tie A Little Sandwich On Yer foot' is an edited section of the 15 minute full length album version of Nige & Trev's 'Message For Jimmy' - the mindblowing second track on their surreal 'Stamp Out M-M-M-Madness in The Air' CD. Frank Fish: Vocals Mick Clack: Guitars, keyboards, bass, midi percussion, backing vocals. Janie Shorter: Sax Dale Marshall: Drums Perry Smith: 'Message for Jimmy' voice
Lyrics
Once in royal David's City Stood a bloke behind a door "You've got to get a handle on this thing!" said his wife wiping away her tears with a tissue. "These are Man-Size right?" she sniffed Staring at the box. I put a sandwich on my foot...god... On my foot...help me, god help me. God...a flying saucer landed...god,god, I put a sandwich on my foot-t-t-t-t-t-t. God - tell 'im that I'I'I'll...put a sandwich on my foot-t-t-t-t-t-t. I gotta go out now..so..er..I'll ring 'im... Bay-bee Jesus, baybee Jesus... Yahhh!Yeahhhh!Yeahhhh!...tell 'im that i'll - er.. mindock...bay-bee Jesus...mindock Yigga-yikk!Yigga-yikk!Yigga-yikk! I gotta go out now - mindock - message for Jimmy, Message for Jimmy - tell 'im that I'll er... message for Jimmy, message for Jimmy... He invites lots of famous couples But I've lost the momentum (Velocaraptor...) Cat got your tongue? (Velocaraptor...)

Turn, prepared a room for him Turn, prepared a room for him I gotta go out...yigga-yikk! I gotta go out now so i'll ring 'im... Load up the trolley And push it down the slope to the stream German...German...go on, go on, go on... Yeah, but when he had a voice like this Yeah, but when he had a voice like this... Beonn-a- bitt-fehhr! Beon-a-bitt-fehhr! He...he...he...he...he.. He shall not approach this offering For without reflection he brought the flood He consigned my people to destruction But are they not my people? For now like the spawn of fish...
