Things are moving swiftly in the posthumous world of Frank Sidebottom, with several big things all happening at once.<br />
<br />
This Friday sees the premiere at Sundance Film Festival, Utah of FRANK, a big budget, fictional 'fable' starring Michael Fassbender in the title role.Filmed in New Mexico and Dublin, it's been totally kept under wraps and has made TIME OUT's list of 'Top five most anticipated films for 2014'.<br />
<br />
In preparation of this, the films screen writer and Ex Oh-Blimey's band member Jon Ronson wrote an article for The Guardian. Read that <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/jan/12/frank-sidebottom-movie-michael-fassbender-chris-sievey?commentpage=3">Here</a><br />
<br />
The documentary I am involved with Steve Sullivan's BEING FRANK: THE CHRIS SIEVEY STORY, which gives an amazingly surreal but factual account of Chris's life and exploits, is now in the final week of shooting.<br />
<br />
Jon Ronson is also releasing an E-Book "Frank: The true story that inspired the movie<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.98714256286621px;"><i>" </i></span></span>on January 16th.<br />
<br />
Add to this a biography 'Out of his head' written by long-time Manchester rock journalist Mick Middles, is well under way and shouldn't be too far off being published.<br />
<br />
Let's look at these occurrences in a little more detail:<br />
<br />
Firstly, the Fassbender movie. We interviewed Jon Ronson for the documentary last Thursday and he urgently wanted to get the point across that it is little more than a 'fable' based on the concept of Frank. It's not set in Timperley, there is no crap keyboards etc. This is why the 'Hollywood' head is purposely different from the original. I see a LOT of Frank fans criticizing the couple of stills that have been released. If Frank disciples can't come to terms with this loosely based story....then there is gonna be a lot of bitter disappointment.<br />
<br />
This is where Steve Sullivan's documentary comes into it's own. It's officially sanctioned by the Sievey family and tells the whole story, first hand, by the people that saw it unfold. Family members, close associates, band members and loved ones have given untold insights, some hilarious, some emotional and dark, into what made Chris tick. Supplementary to this is the mind-blowing archive we have had access to.Valiantly rescued from an imminent journey to the tip by Chris's brother, Martin Sievey, I'd estimate 700 plus hours of virtually unseen video and cine film alongside unheard reel to reels, cassettes and CD's. Not to mention the boxes full of photos, newsletters, fan correspondence and artwork.<br />
It's worked in two ways. Firstly, as a top notch cache of material to actually put in the film but almost more importantly, it has served as a 'detective' paper trail...giving us a thousand leads worthy of pursuit.<br />
<br />
As the shooting process comes to a close, the editing will begin. For sure a mammoth task but once completed, I have no doubt we are sitting on THE definitive life story of Chris Sievey/Frank Sidebottom.<br />
<br />
I wish the Fassbender FRANK movie every possible success on it's release this week and I have no problem with it not being factual. Before his death, Chris gave his approval and was instrumental in the development of the project. He both understood and accepted it was never going to be factual. He preferred it that way, actually. He excitedly talked to me about his own film that would follow on from it's success and that was going to be a true account. Happily, even after his death, it turns out that film is still being made in the form of BEING FRANK: THE CHRIS SIEVEY STORY.<br />
<br />
If the big budget film is even moderately successful. then perhaps worldwide interest in the underlying true story will be stimulated? Imagine if just one percent of that potential audience want to know more about Sidebottom and come looking for Steve's film?<br />
<br />
To summarize, FRANK is scheduled for general release May 2014 with a UK spoken word tour FRANK: MY STORY by Jon Ronson in March. The Steve Sullivan BEING FRANK documentary is set for a summer release to hopefully tie in very nicely with all the other activities leading up to it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm currently helping out with the production of a documentary about the unbelievable life and times of Chris Sievey, the man behind Frank Sidebottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The project is headed up by film maker Steve Sullivan. No stranger to Sidebottom, he worked with Chris on the short film MAGICAL TIMPERLEY TOUR.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Steve was granted permission from the Sievey family to produce the project and also given full access to Chris's extensive archive of reel to reel audio master tapes, vhs tapes, cassettes, photographs, artwork, cine films and cereal boxes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Filming commenced mid December 2012 on location at Timperley community centre. I spent 3 days with Chris's elder brother Martin, sifting through a seemingly endless number of boxes pulling out anything of interest that triggered our memories and then filming it. It was set in perfect surroundings, a melancholy, slightly delapidated attic space in an old Victorian building</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was both sad and great fun. In a very short period of time we started to put together a string of interesting stories and the bigger picture was already starting to unfold. I believe we came away with over 10 hours of footage from these sessions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As we went along, items were categorised and all the various' master' tapes were then sent to the Manchester film archive to be digitized and properly stored so that they don't deteriorate any further.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Filming concluded at the Statue Fundraiser in Manchester where performances were recorded and interviews with fans took place in 'Vinyl Revival' record shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The film is being produced by Rondo Media and is looking for further funding...I have 100% conviction, just from the five or so years I worked for Chris/Frank, that there is a truly outstanding story to be told. I sincerely hope Steve Sullivan is given the opportunity to complete this film</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This project is not to be confused with the Hollywood film loosly based on Sievey, written by Jon Ronson that is currently in production.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No matter how much these guys embellish or distort the concept with some artistic licence....I don't think it could be anymore incredulous than the true story!</div>

I feel privileged to have Ricky Adam come over and shoot for us. We have known Ricky since the very late 80's when Jailcell Recipes (previous incarnation of Bail-Bond) travelled to Ireland to play gigs organised by The Belfast Music Collective. It's a nice feeling to be surrounded by people who have a shared history with the band.<br />
Ricky is an outstanding photographer, completely in tune with the subject matter. He's made a name for himself shooting BMX and has an art book DESTROYING EVERYTHING that has just about sold out it's first edition. If you fancy a copy.....happy hunting....he's also thinking about printing a second run.dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-89456425355491618272012-06-29T09:07:00.001-07:002012-06-29T13:38:37.697-07:00BAIL-BOND basement gig<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nWJqMGb7-J0" width="420"></iframe><br />
Next weekend we are putting our new (old) UK Hardcore band into action. With various members residing at opposite ends of the country, it's both costly and difficult to get together on a regular basis...any get-together needs to be exploited to the hilt!<br />
We organised a weekend of activity:<br />
Saturday afternoon/evening... rehearsing and band photoshoot.<br />
Sunday afternoon...a low-key basement gig with a small 'invite-only' crowd at a secret location.<br />
We plan to videotape this performance and use the footage to help promote the band.<br />
Date is Sunday 8th July from 2pm-5.30pm. ALL AGES<br />
If you dig Hardcore and you fancy attending, get in touch and I will forward the info you will need. Super limited capacity (30 peeps max)<br />
Band is comprised of former members of JAILCELL RECIPES, SLEEP, KNOW NOTHING, BURN ALL FLAGS, LIE CYCLE and MASS OF BASTARDS.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Just confirmed..... S.S.S. added to the bill<br />

</div>Round 3 of the UK flat track GNC took place at Oxford on Friday night. It was a very eventful race. It was raining everywhere else but we had dust and sunshine. Wilky #99 went down in the first turn of the first heat and hurt his wrist. Drogo #27 also had a big crash early on but managed to walk away relatively unscathed. I had fuel problems in my first heat (just happened to be my front row start) and after a strong start limped home in next to last place...not that I'm complaining in view of what was to come in the short track final....a horrible 6 bike accident on the back straight resulting in young Tim Neave #14 getting badly hurt. The fence was destroyed and bikes and bodies were everywhere. the final was cancelled as there was no chance of a restart. It was very sobering to witness and really drives home how much risk is involved with such high speed, close racing.<br />
Anyway despite the crashes and mechanical problems, both me and Wilky scraped into the THUNDERBIKES final....personally I was just happy to not be hurt seeing I was due to have hernia surgery on Monday morning!<br />

Mala cooked a tasty breakfast of scrambled eggs with 4 different Scandinavian cheeses and the local wholemeal flatbread. This was washed down with cinnamon tea.<br />
I spent the morning mooching around the house and yard, absorbing the ambience. Hese from ROAD-WEIRDOES, who I met the last time I came to Finland, showed up with his buddy to work on one of the various trucks parked up. Mala hooked me up with some wheels for the weekend... a brand new 'Retro' 125cc scooter from India with only 280km's on the clock. It was great to have some independence and not be reliant on anybody to get around. In the afternoon Eski and Masa arrived and I pitched in and helped load the vans and trucks with musical equipment, merch and camping stuff for the show.dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-41787938486737963622012-06-12T06:14:00.001-07:002012-06-12T06:16:01.040-07:00PISTONHEAD RUN, FINLAND....part one<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIxlN7sWd4rtKS8Vvt_ZgYCXXAJf0vRG8Ykm0icBjLF82QbCE8DF7uEqCF4Ooq1LcEXdmxjRrJc0-eGREouqiOzzgSH9sB4EJla_pM64XIbryUO2udciwo_eXMvXIt1da0XMg8QMBUv1x/s1600/DSC06074.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIxlN7sWd4rtKS8Vvt_ZgYCXXAJf0vRG8Ykm0icBjLF82QbCE8DF7uEqCF4Ooq1LcEXdmxjRrJc0-eGREouqiOzzgSH9sB4EJla_pM64XIbryUO2udciwo_eXMvXIt1da0XMg8QMBUv1x/s400/DSC06074.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Downstairs is an open plan garage/workshop/storage space with living quarters on the second floor. Mala has spent his adult life collecting Americana, so that's cars, trucks, motorcycles, pinball machines, musical equipment, buses, clothing, hats, boots, food products, hair products, gas station ephemera, beer, toys and records....oh and a crane (though technically, that's English). The factory sits way out in the countryside and the surrounding sprawling plot is full of outhouses bursting with the aforementioned stuff.</div>dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-12910782264669262652012-06-01T04:01:00.000-07:002012-06-01T04:01:48.343-07:00MILL STREET MUSCLE CAR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPwx28ACKiuKuu0iXeVKjFWoVUlUCKa9sDFBhIoqoRC6kzCuHmbhEULqgMstD7iTclgBlnMFna7pqbgAWPLAAhn1D-f9cxcBDibhcD5-LpBsqozMwUQA3RgK2bT3XGdFoPg-WAKXUROv2/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkPwx28ACKiuKuu0iXeVKjFWoVUlUCKa9sDFBhIoqoRC6kzCuHmbhEULqgMstD7iTclgBlnMFna7pqbgAWPLAAhn1D-f9cxcBDibhcD5-LpBsqozMwUQA3RgK2bT3XGdFoPg-WAKXUROv2/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

My dad always had fast cars and seemed to change them every 6 months but back in 1973 he owned this Mustang Mach 1. An awesome car to be driven around the Wigan borough in. Left hand drive, V8 lump, 8-track music player and candy red leather interior. We once took a three week long family caravanning trip to Italy and Yugoslavia and averaged between 7-9 miles per gallon! I fondly remember my sister and me lying down in the 'folded-down -seat' boot area, looking up through the tinted panoramic rear window at the crystal clear Mediterranean sky whilst listening to Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra. Unsure of all the contributing facts but I think the car was sold on pretty quickly after this trip....probably because it was such a gas guzzler!<br />
I'm not really into cars but if I ever had a few grand spare...I would hunt down one of these iconic bruisers.dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-54218713480957048472012-06-01T03:13:00.000-07:002012-06-01T03:13:54.212-07:00Viva Montesa!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyN_nAJWYMhrKp29RtuNil7z2LwH8Mh0vHMXIgQm0rjYPst4lYFrlZoDpp90CSrsnvRFgbacb0bL9Qua5gwLgYfrSp08jLnrzaoLRzFPVZpUovmQkEsWM23EJxm1Gw6zz_Q0bBnp3fnv_/s1600/montesa+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqyN_nAJWYMhrKp29RtuNil7z2LwH8Mh0vHMXIgQm0rjYPst4lYFrlZoDpp90CSrsnvRFgbacb0bL9Qua5gwLgYfrSp08jLnrzaoLRzFPVZpUovmQkEsWM23EJxm1Gw6zz_Q0bBnp3fnv_/s400/montesa+2.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Whilst trawling through old family photos at my parent's house, I found this gem.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's my sister and me on my Dad's Montesa back in about 1973.

Great day out at the DIRT QUAKE event I helped organise for Sideburn Mag last weekend. An unlikely mix of activities and hard to put a finger on why it was so good...Sort of a cross between a motorcycle race and a 70's Saturday morning kids TV show.<br />
I was ultra busy on the day and didn't take a single picture. All these images are taken from various folks on the web, facebook etc.....hope they don't mind.<br />
I'm indebted to the folks behind the scenes that helped to make this happen and to the racers for signing up for something that was an unknown quantity. It was a ton of hard work but I hope we can find a way to do this again, bigger and even better next year.dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-2456924974249063752012-04-20T09:39:00.000-07:002012-04-20T10:04:21.317-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are some shots from Stoke speedway in 2006. After the race, we actually got showered with our helmets, boots and leathers on....I thought it was a great idea until we totally blocked the toilet blocks drains...Sorry about that!</div>

It will be a one night stand of exhilaration, fear and a true sense of accomplishment.<br />
<br />
Whatever bike you can lay your hands on, we got a suitable class for you to race it in. Novice, street-tracker/street-scrambler, inappropriate road bike and chopper classes.<br />
<br />
Here's what was lurking in my shed. Given to me over 15years ago... a crusty, unloved Suzuki GS750 hardtail chopper. I say 'hardtail' but what I really mean is 2 iron bars bolted into where the rear shocks should be. <br />
<br />
My mates, PITSTOP PAUL and his lad PITSTOP KEV dropped by today to make initial steps to get her running for the big day. When I aquired the bike in the last century, it was running. However, it seems to be missing a rectifier and the wiring loom looks like it was put together over the phone by Peters and Lee. The overall standard of engineering is so poor and ham-fisted....it's almost perverse.<br />
<br />
I'm not gonna race this bike personally. I'm already racing my Rotax in both the club meeting 11am-4pm and then in the GNC at 7pm which is more than enough considering I'm suffering with a hernia. The deal is if they can get it running then Pitstop Paul can race it in the Chopper class.....I'm positive I'll get far more pleasure watching a newbie at the helm representing SKOOTER FARM/SIDEBURN than riding it myself. If Paul decides not to race.....I already got a subsitute. A guy who's last legitimate occupation was being fired out of a cannon in a stunt show!<br />
<br />
The Pitstoppers left undaunted with a small shopping list: coils, plugs, plug caps, air filters and a rectifier.<br />
Work continues next week.<br />
<br />
I hope this post inspires folks who toy with the romantic notion of being a motorcycle racer to stop fantasizing and make it a reality...even if it's just for one evening.<br />
<br />

It's a music project that himself, Deke Dickerson and friends collaborated on with Nokie Edwards.<br />
<br />
Nokie Edwards was the lead guitarist with original instrumental surf kings THE VENTURES from 1959-1968. Tons of great tracks: 2000 lb bee, pedal pusher, swingin' creeper and their biggest hit...walk don't run.<br />
<br />
Mel is the Guitarist in THE PHANTOM SURFERS and Deke was in THE UNTAMED YOUTH and this platter is an authentic sounding homage to the mid-60's period Ventures.<br />
<br />
However....track Five is called DO THE FRANK SIDEBOTTOM....<br />
<br />
How can this be? you ask.....Well, let me explain.... back in 2005, my band THE STAGS played a couple of European shows with The Phantom Surfers. One of these was at Wigan where we somehow managed to get Frank out of retirement to compere the show.....this kickstarted his career and led to me becoming Franks road manager.<br />
Mel and the rest of the band where totally knocked out with Frank....instantly recognising the genius that it was. Frank ended up singing SHEENA IS A PUNK ROCKER with the Surfers and it brought the house down.<br />
Frank and The Surfers stayed in touch and plans were made to record a Frank Sidebottom and the Phantom Surfers EP, for U.S. release and a west coast tour to promote it. Frank was really excited about this. Mel sent six or so instrumental tracks over but Frank being Frank....He never actually got round to finishing it. Sadly, Chris Sievey, Franks alter ego, contracted cancer and died. He did tell me he had recorded vocals on a couple of the tracks. It's possible they are tucked away somewhere on his portastudio. Problem is Chris/Frank was a disorganised, unconventional maverick. How you would even start to figure out the mystery tracks whereabouts totally beats me.<br />
<br />
Anyways...it seems this particular song has gone full circle. Mel and the guys have paid tribute to Sidebottom by keeping its original title and having one of the all-time great surf instrumental guitarists play on it. I'm positive that Frank/Chris would be completely jazzed at this unlikely outcome....you know he would.....he really would....thankyou!dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-59522003872932603152012-04-09T05:24:00.002-07:002012-04-11T07:06:43.580-07:00THE MAKING OF 'DIRT QUAKE' TEASER TRAILER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOzKe2chfoCeAnIMlVUF1nvgctK0C3yJ6cRIikUdydV2BW87MtQCUCchB16K3Mqw6Eh0GXbxlWiWLYNACkaMY2tXDd1l__vFkoGnUQiW7jGRaiuDr_0iis6iOkejEU-R2l9iGh3Yl5t89/s1600/20120326-IMG_7891.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266px" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirOzKe2chfoCeAnIMlVUF1nvgctK0C3yJ6cRIikUdydV2BW87MtQCUCchB16K3Mqw6Eh0GXbxlWiWLYNACkaMY2tXDd1l__vFkoGnUQiW7jGRaiuDr_0iis6iOkejEU-R2l9iGh3Yl5t89/s400/20120326-IMG_7891.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><br />

Weather was amazing, Hayley Saull and Dan Walsh from Patteran Productions did a super job as did my co-star Wilky # 99!<br />
Extra big thanks to Kaitlyn, our glamourous starter girl who patiently hung around all day waiting for her call...and also Jonathon Saull for taking the photos.<br />
<br />
Bikes featured in the shoot were my '82 Suzuki GS 850 shaft drive and Wilkys newly imported '38 Harley Flathead. The bikes were required to be street legal for the road sequences and it was a bit of a challenge to achieve that. Wilkys bike wasn't even registered in the UK and mine had been stood in a damp shed for over six years. Favours were called, queue-jumping MOT's sorted by Gary at NORTHWEST CUSTOMS, emergency carb stripdown, new battery and filters by Paul and Tony respectively at PITSTOP MOTORCYCLES.<br />
Wilky jumped through hoops to re-register his sickle on a UK plate....just in the nick of time.<br />
The choppers rode surprisingly good out on the track....considering the hardtail frame, high bars and forward foot positioning. the Flathead developed a fault half way through the day....but Wilky somehow managed to keep her running and got the job done....a real trooper!<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for a cameo appearance by SKOOTER FARM team manager Joe Crawford!<br />

Inevitably, I'm going to have surgery...but in the meantime.......IN GOD WE TRUSS!<br />
Made a makeshift cod-piece out of 2 pairs of underpants, a piece of camping bed mat and some duct tape and proceeded to skate the pool. This worked satisfactorily so I then purchased a cheap, generic hernia support belt online and went flat track racing last weekend with no obvious serious issues.....but I guess it's only a matter of time.......dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-63139772766861687332012-03-15T07:17:00.000-07:002012-03-15T07:17:40.493-07:00SIDEBURN MAGAZINE # 10 LAUNCH PARTY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZM-yzfzscKv5j3L8tSBtvmLbAfBNA7AgLUC3E17ZcOP7pIkvYD_o-WxjuqOUF4mIDlC6cV5lJ-rvIRB8He3Va_g_R6Ok17ks7za1ukRqE4Z-1ccvtZ_vt-tYUXaVbezHRmHQLA2-JfUO/s1600/El-Toro_SIDEBURN%2310_party.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="400px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZM-yzfzscKv5j3L8tSBtvmLbAfBNA7AgLUC3E17ZcOP7pIkvYD_o-WxjuqOUF4mIDlC6cV5lJ-rvIRB8He3Va_g_R6Ok17ks7za1ukRqE4Z-1ccvtZ_vt-tYUXaVbezHRmHQLA2-JfUO/s400/El-Toro_SIDEBURN%2310_party.JPG" width="315px" /></a></div>Tomorrow night in Liverpool!

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Better late than never....here's a project I did last summer during the six months or so I wasn't blogging.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The idea was to make a life-size Mannequin of Frank Sidebottom to help raise awareness of the Statue Fund to raise money for a bronze statue in Timperley village (6 feet outside Manchester)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> I took Franks head (there is only one in existence) to CNC ROBOTICS where I do freelance set building for their sister company LIVERPOOL SCENIC WORKSHOPS. They kindly 3D scanned the head and then machined a polystyrene replica for me to use as a base to create the head.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I sealed the polystyrene with pva glue and the painstakingly rendered the entire head with a thin but tough layer of car body filler. facial features the nose, lips, hairline and ears were sculpted and then sanded until they blended in. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">At this point I also started to work on the body. A shop window dummy was donated by fellow Frankophile Alan Woods. Unfortunately, the dummy was tall, slender and gazelle-like...NONE of Franks attributes. I decided to modify the standard dummy to resemble Franks vital statistics. This involved shortening the arms, legs and 'cutting and shutting' the torso. That went very well so I decided to now reposition the arms utilising plastic plumbers 'elbow joints'. Again this worked out surprisingly well so I took it further and remodelled the left hand, cutting and repositioning each digit into the 'Thumbs Up' sign. I pinned it all together with short lengths of coat hanger wire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I sourced an identical suit on ebay for a max bid of £11.37...which I won, spent £4 on the shoes in a charity shop and had a genuine pink tie previously worn by Frank and then passed on to me as a member of Franks backing band THE OH-BLIMEYS.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm really bad at painting and the plan was for Martin Sievey (Frank/Chris's older brother) to do the painting..... however this didn't happen for various reasons so I decided to apply the paint myself. I'm more than happy with how that turned out. Working for Frank/Chris for the last 5 years leading up to his death I even knew which particular brand of paints to use and their code numbers.....Chris even imparted a couple of tips on techniques he used to achieve the desired affect.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm very proud of my work and whenever the statue is on public show, folks seem to love it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It is currently on display at Alans shop in Wigan and is scheduled to make an appearance at FRANK-FEST in Manchester on Saturday March 31st. Headlining is THE FALL also THE STAGS are on the bill and will play a couple of Franks best loved songs in the set.</span></td></tr>

<br />
What we got here are 3 bands/artists generally regarded as 'plastic punk' by most punk obsessives but as these videos show.... these bands could really rock!<br />
<br />
First up is JOE JACKSON in 1979 with the title track off his 2nd album 'I'm the man'...this fully rips along!<br />
This song has the classic line 'Skateboards?....I almost made them respectable' ..a strong enough reason to love this song for this single fact alone.<br />
<br />
Following this is ELVIS COSTELLO in 1978 with 'Pump it up' <br />
When my dad saw this routine on Top of the Pops ....it made him feel sick and wanted to write to the BBC to complain.......good job he never got to witness the Sex Pistols.<br />
<br />
To finish it's THE BOOMTOWN RATS with a spirited live performance in 1978 of a great album track 'Don't believe what you read'.<br />
This clip is from the short-lived, brilliant REVOLVER tv show that had PETER COOK as the host.<br />
<br />
It seems to me a shame that these bands had their heads turned and for whatever reasons got themselves ran through the mainstream 'Music Machine' to to lose all the sharp edges and become the acceptable face of punk at the time.....New Wave.dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204204321040255567.post-37407949676972243902012-02-27T16:02:00.000-08:002012-02-27T16:02:50.886-08:00THE WIGAN INVASION<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybyiio6bZHWnNe0nvmwFfAdXYvxYgLVAHeV7LMpkaKGZoXao__CuNzY9JPD8UI17sbclAPEELz_tT5CcIkSJGirObGEBRDFpQJJADPj-wQYmqMIkWt1ewmvsHKR2qfTefhcTap9VyFzj0/s1600/stags+stags+stagS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybyiio6bZHWnNe0nvmwFfAdXYvxYgLVAHeV7LMpkaKGZoXao__CuNzY9JPD8UI17sbclAPEELz_tT5CcIkSJGirObGEBRDFpQJJADPj-wQYmqMIkWt1ewmvsHKR2qfTefhcTap9VyFzj0/s400/stags+stags+stagS.jpg" uda="true" width="282px" /></a></div>Its Soundflat Records 10th anniversary party in London very soon.

Obviously, my choice of pictures shows me in the best light possible but on the other hand, like they say....the camera never lies!<br />
Looking forward to the start of the new season on April 1st (no joke)... as the competition continues to get stronger I've no idea how I'll do this coming season but I feel I've finally recovered from my various injuries I picked up late last year and feel it's gonna be a good year for dirt track in the UK!dave skooter farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00096280926587203884noreply@blogger.com3
