Bog-Shed

Bogshed were a pop group formed in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England in 1984, originally as The Amazing Roy North Penis Band. The band formed in early 1984 and comprised Phil Hartley (vocals), Mark McQuaid (guitar), Mike Bryson (bass guitar), and Tris King (drums). Bryson also produced the cover art for the band's releases. They were helped initially by The Membranes, leading to several performances in London, and the band's first release was the 'Let Them Eat Bogshed' EP on John Robb's Vinyl Drip label in 1985. By the time of this release, the band had already played around 35 concerts and, according to Hartley, written between 80 and 100 songs.

Not really sounding like anyone before or since, they had much in common with some of the bands on the Ron Johnson label. They released two albums and several singles as well as recording five Peel Sessions, before splitting in 1987. Two of these sessions, from 1986, were issued on the 'Tried and Tested Public Speaker' EP in January 1987.

Bogshed appeared on NME's 'C86' compilation. The term "shambling" was coined by John Peel to describe their sound although the term later became more commonly used to describe bands such as The Pastels. Mike Bryson currently records under the name of Forkeyes. A split mini-album 'Vier Mit Vier', with tracks by electronic musician Marcus H (Soiled) and Forkeyes was released in 2012 on Elm Lodge Records. Phil Hartley died on 11 October 2006 and Tris King died on 21 December 2008. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]
