Ranting, grooving, shrieking, psycho-jazz/rock/blues/classical/comedy/funk mayhem
On December 25th 2005 NIGE and TREV were announced as winners in no less than three categories in the 2006 International Online Music Awards (IOMAS)...BEST ARTIST, BEST COMPOSER and BEST SONG for their track entitled 'My Horse will never exist in Reality'. NIGE and TREV's drummer Dale Marshall also received the 2006 IOMA for BEST DRUMMER.
NIGE and TREV are a ranting, grooving, shrieking, psychedelic, experiMENTAL, soup hurling,pendulum obsessed jazz/rock/blues/classical/comedy/funk duo
who have a passionate devil-may-
care, 'no-holds-barred' approach to music resulting in a rapturous hotch potch of euphoric whistling funk-folk pandemonium peppered with fevered bursts of whammy bar werewolf gibberish reminiscent of Captain Beefheart and the great Lord Buckley with distant echoes of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. Mick 'Trev' Clack's battered Stratocasters wail and howl relentlessly at the three moons of Planet Klennaar carving out a ricketty balsa wood platform for Frank 'Nige' Fish's reckless, unstoppable, scatterbrained Hammer-Horror love sermons. He talks in tongues, he yelps, he growls, he plays guitar upside down, he yodels, he bellows, he serenades, he lectures and occaisonally he even resorts to SINGING!
NIGE and TREV also have a wacky website on MY SPACE.
MICK 'Trev-or-is-it-Nige?'CLACK has his own website on MY SPACE...

Not sure I've ever heard Nige and Trev 'go reggae' before but 'I Believe in Nothing' most certainly slips effortlessly into a reggae feel but then before we know what's happening we're suddenly immersed in smoky jazz, with a lazy blues lick creeping in and then it's the unique full blown Nige and Trev controlled chaos, an undefined outpouring from the very gut and soul, straight from the memory of the screaming womb. "I've lost myself in the blues..." growls an emotional Frank as Bronwyn softly moans "oh you and me baby..." and they've got us, hook line and sinker and as we hang in mid air, holdi
