Clump of Spunk

Clump of Spunk: British / Irish / half Canadian Heavy Rock Band

In December 2016 Clump of Spunk were formed from former members of Pump, Trojan Horse, Bats Don't have Lashes and Nevermind the Doctor. Clump of Spunk was the brainchild of Canadian born Angus Paul, the former drummer with both Bats Don't have Lashes and Nevermind the Doctor. Tony Jr II, the bassist of both other bands said, that this was the first association of any brain they could remember with Angus Paul.

After 4 months of rehearsals in Watford, London and London Colney studios, the band took on their first Clump of Spunk live shows in some real dives (sic Tony Jr. II). Many gigs later, from Camden to Nottingham and Liverpool to the Kings Arms in Tring, Clump of Spunk decided it was time to go into the studio and work on their first album ( 1969 ) . With limited funds, work commitments and not a lot of talent between them they booked a week off and hired the legendary Joe Caprani as the studio engineer as Tom the Bomb Billington was unavailable and Dr Dre would not have agreed to work with any other average white artists.

As usual the studio time was the preserve of Angus 'The Shed builder' Paul, Tony 'Three Spare Strings' Jr II and Bart Michaels (Guitarist) who consumed the first 5 days of the studio time, taking up to 72 takes on 'With the exception of .... ' , which was the first single from the album (see myspace for track). Eight tracks down and only one day and night to complete the vocals meant that Tush Robertz, female lead vocalist, was less than impressed but being the pro that she is, went down on the mike and laid down the vocals. Joe Caprani was least impressed with only 24 Hours to

Clump of Spunk took the album 1969 on tour to very little acclaim. The first single 'With the exception of.... was probably the wrong choice of a first single, similar to that of Robbie Williams covering George Michael's "Freedom", the single reached number two in the UK Singles Chart. Not the best but things worked out better for Williams (still early days for Clump of Spunk) . Speaking off record Tush Robertz stated that Lovegun and Three Fingers or two were both personal favourites.

After a mostly unsuccessful tour with the album 1969, the band went through the usual procrastination of whether to try again or continue. After a few more local gigs in Hertfordshire and London Clump of Spunk went back into the studio late 2017 with a new vision for 2018 and, taking twice the time of 1969, they started the recording of 'Angels Don't say Ouch. this was meant to be the seminal album of Clump of Spunk. Tush Robertz believes this is the album that will break into the Canadian and US market.

"Angels don't say Ouch" is a perfect mix of deep blues, raw mexual guitar based dirty, grimy, filthy raw, slap me beautiful rock. Vocally the album is emmmmm different, than what you would expect from such accomplished musicians, but Tush Robertz voice is errrrrrrr Unique.

Angels Don't say Ouch is a very forward thinking album and deals with transgender, transatlantic, transistor (radios) and translucent powder. The album opens with an almost gentle (not vocals) track which, if you haven't listened to Clump of Spunk before, you might miss out on the powerful rawness of Track 2 (Headbutt) and #potsandpanslappin . the energy in these tracks is palpable and with the new producer and engineer, Nathaniel 'The Bush' Ginger behind the controls, there is no let up in speed or energy.

Due for release in May 2018, this album will either make or break Clump of Spunk.
