Is this the worst band in the world? Knobbing Thistle - The exploiters of Industrial Death Reggae,
were conceived in thee throat of night in thee last few hours before Totality, thee phoenix rebirth ov thee sun.
We held vigil beneath the path of thee total solar eclipse ov august 1999ev.
As thee wait coum to an end our brave ritualeers witnessed thee pearl beads of bailey pierce thee clouds with light.
At this moment we were infused with unknown spirits and a new era wuz born.
Thus, in an age of TV karaoke pop star competitions, celebrity stars in their eyes, tribute soundalikey bands and re:formed nostalgia campers
we becoum Knobbing Thistle – scourge of seventies industrial musick
Knobbing Thistle evolved form the rotting carcass of 'Albert Steptoe's Love Kingdom'.
Disillusioned with the music scene, KT sold out before buying in, joined in with the rest of the tat,
threw away the Portance of producing exciting innovative music and like the Turner Prize nominees
extracted from the litterbins the ideas that other people should have thrown away,
in fact we should have thrown it away as well.
A Dis-tribute Band - "Respect and Ridicule".
