about

these tracks are the songs i sent off to record labels in the beginning days of the Bordellos , we where not yet called The Bordellos and no longer wanted to be called Onion King so i sent the tracks off under the name Grocer Jack inspired by the character in the Keith West hit Excerpts from A Teenage Opera. at the time we just wanted some feed back as these where the first recordings we did when Geoff and Vinny got involved and was not sure whether we were going to do any more recordings. The demo tape was well received with Chrysalis,Virgin, Rough Trade ,Honey records and Viper records all wanting to hear more we decided to carry on and that is when the fun started as we had no more recordings so had a rip roaring 2 years of recordings ,gigs ,converting a barn into a 32 track studio and many arguments and laughs in that order rthis line up recorded two albums but was only released after Geoff and Vinny had left taking our newly required drummer with them , we replaced them with my son Dan who was only 13 at the time , we where then offered a record deal with Bomp but only if i got the original band back together i turned them down and released the albums through the near legendary underground Washington based label Brutarian Records ... but these where the tracks that started it all

about

The Bordellos St Helens, UK

Midlife crisis, teenage angst, put them in songs and sell them to the Yanks...they say "No thanks"...A family business and cottage industry (that makes no money whatsoever). We're underrated and underpaid, still we refuse to change our ways. A band since 2003 but playing for far longer, accept no substitutes. ... more
