Loved it. Fabulously clever musically, yet still 'more-ish' - watched it over & over. Bardsley's unique vocal style worked perfectly with the song. As did his haywire head and chest hair! Made me buy all Molly Half Head and Wireless stuff - still playing it today. NME reviewed Dunce lp subsequently and absolutely hammered Paul's vocal zzz's-ness. But they did the same to Mark E. Smith until their readership told them to like him.Dom the Bombnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-86774398321417016332009-10-05T20:05:47.383+01:002009-10-05T20:05:47.383+01:00i've got dunce, it's still a good album 14...i've got dunce, it's still a good album 14 years on! my god, time flys. also got the wireless album cuz i liked the way he sang. mark and lards graveyard slot was excellent for music of this ilk. babybird, angel corpus christi..... clint boom experience?big jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-16033139224437494552009-04-01T09:28:00.000+01:002009-04-01T09:28:00.000+01:00Molly Half Head, saw em supporting Iggy Pop and I ...Molly Half Head, saw em supporting Iggy Pop and I was hooked.

What an album, i used to play it over and over...then lost it. Tpyed the name in here by chance and found this site. If anyone knows where i can download a copy of Sulk Id be very grateful. ALso looking for anything by a Welsh group same period called Datblyugu. Both MHH and them were aired quite a bit by Peel.

He was a Porter there. One time he organised a gig in a small hall near the hospital. He had some mates to play the instruments (I'm sure they weren't a band but just together for the night). I had no idea what to expect from this scrawny bloke who pushed wheelchairs around all day. The set was a series of covers and I do remember the astonishing version of James Brown's Sex Machine he finished off with. He had a nasal, whiny singing voice but it just worked.<BR/><BR/>He went off to Jersey to work for a year and it was when he returned that he joined Molly Half Head. I think the band had this conflict between the arty side from Chorlton and Paul, who was an instinctive singer. When he formed Wireless that tension was gone and the music just wasn't as special.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently digitising my vinyl collection and blogging about it in-between my normal reviews. Although my vinyl period is more seventies, I may have to rip the first Wireless single and talk about itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344662375713065330.post-39837446638148671622008-01-23T19:42:00.000+00:002008-01-23T19:42:00.000+00:00I've opened a MHH myspace page with some of the de...I've opened a MHH myspace page with some of the demos that were never released.
