“It’s out, it’s out, and only the Lord knows when it’ll be on us all…”
A VERY limited release of Pestrepeller’s unbelievable tribute to the Bonzo Dog Band. The Bonzo’s cod-medieval instrumental miniature, ‘Noises for the Leg’, from their Keynsham LP, is extended, elaborated and transfigured into a thirty minute organ and moog meditation on the horror stories of HP Lovecraft.
Pestrepeller (or Attack Wave Pestepeller, to give them their full moniker) specialise in a unique brand of detailed and noisy improvised music inspired by the occult.
The core of the band is a trio of Ed Pinsent – cartoonist (Illegal Batman, Windy Wilberforce, Drake Ullingsworth), Sound Projector radio show and magazine – Harley R – publisher and editor of Ugly Mug comic – and Savage Pencil – punk cartoonist (Sounds, NME, The Wire) and designer of album covers and t-shirts for bands such as Sonic Youth, The Fall, Sunn O))) and Rocket from the Crypt. The core trio are sometimes joined by honorary pests such as Sharon Gal, Peter Hope Evans, Rob Brown and Gary Ramon.
Pestrepeller have performed at the ICA and the Equinox ‘Festival of Scientific Illumination’. Recordings include Insect and Rodent Eliminator (Sympathy for the Devil records), Nug Yar (Prescription), The Cruel Sea (a collaboration with the Chelsea Magrigal Group), Isle of Dark Magic (Important Records), As Wolf (a split release picture disc with My Cat Is An Alien), Noises for the Leg, Alphabet of Daggers and Rough on Rats.
Track listing
1. Noises for the Leg (5:29)

The shorter ‘Noises for the Leg’ first appeared in 2003 for Noises for the Limb – a tribute to the Bonzo Dog Band published by Wood Records. (Listen to the entire album on Mark Wood’s YouTube channel).
‘Noises for the Longer Leg’ appears here for the first time.
Recorded at Mr E Studios North.

Jump aboard the good ship Mystery Dick as it fires up its Marshall amps, sets coordinates on a Vox Continental organ, and hurtles on an unforgettable Fantastic Journey into the mind.
Recorded in 1997, released in 2001, out of print for eons and now reissued in a limited pressing by the House of Harley’s audio imprint, Mr E Discs.
A duo of Ed Pinsent – cartoonist (Illegal Batman, Windy Wilberforce, Drake Ullingsworth), Sound Projector radio show and magazine – and Harley R – publisher and editor of Ugly Mug comic. They are non-musicians who deploy obscure and intuitive methods to create ‘made up music’ and unforgettable sounds.
‘The Dick’ erupted onto the musical landscape back in the mid-1990s with the legendary Volcano Tape, and have performed and recorded sporadically ever since. Albums include One Note Mind, Pensioners Fear Hall, In the City of Violent Giants (recorded live at the Phoenix Arts Centre, Brighton), and Single Angel, a contemplative collaboration with the Chelsea Madrigal Group.

1. One Note Mind (38:11)
