(Jowe ended up singing backing vocals over the phone on their version of Midget Submarines). He also sent us up a CD of his unreleased "Sly Boots" album and Topplers asked if they could release a couple of tracks as a single. Jowe chose these tracks and asked the NoMen to add backing vocals. The fold out sleeve was done by Allan from the NoMen and is loosely based on Jowe's first solo LP "Pincer Movement." The picture on the back was Jowe's original art for "Sly Boots."


TV010 (2005) Buy the CD from our shop	OLIVE'S HAIRY CUSTARD - The first CD release of Jowe's band from the late nineties out now on Topplers Records. It contains the 4 tracks from their 1997 single and 9 unreleased songs. This CD contains some of Jowe's best work and the guitar work is amazing! The vocals are shared between Jowe and his Australian band members Garlon Hairmungus and Les Miserable and the drums are by ex Thrilled Skinny drummer, Elliot P Smoke (who has an amazing 7" single out on Topplers with his current band The Knockouts!) Price for the CD is £5 (packaged in lavish fold-out sleeve with 12pp booklet) www.oliveshairycustard.co.uk www.theknockouts.org.uk

TV010 (2006)	From a Parallel Universe (TV010) Ten tracks from Jowe Head ranging from big, beefy rock songs to trippy instrumentals. There are cover versions of songs by such disparate artists as Burt Bacharach, Kevin Coyne and Sun Ra; and Jowe even revives one of his early Swell maps songs for this album! This is an excellent collection of songs and a great introduction to the world of Jowe Head!

THE CAKE SHOP 7"

A RECORD SHOP which opened in NYC took it's name from Jowe's song on "Jane from Occupied Territory" and "Pincer Movement." As a special treat, exclusive to their customers, they released a 7" single of Jowe Head and the Nomen doing a new version of 'Cake Shop Girl'! It is a split single with "cause co-mmotion" a band from Brooklyn.

Nikki Sudden did one of his final gigs at the cake shop in 2006 - you can see some tracks here...

A slightly remixed version of "Cake Shop" is on the new Jowe head CD.

PERVERTED BY MARK E
Jowe's version of the Fall song CHOC-STOCK, from their classic Dragnet album, has been released on a Fall Tribute album on which Jowe also does the cover art (well, it's one of his paintings slightly bastardised!) See the full details here.

There are loads of bands either covering Fall tunes or doing songs about the Fall! It's a great mixture - look out especially for the Container Drivers "Ex Members of the Fall Club"
