MISTYS BIG ADVENTURE
A glorious 8 piece band from Birmingham in the UK, made up of brothers and sisters and twins and saxophones and trumpets and cute, weird dancers who produce the most uplifting, life affirming tunes you will hear since Louie Armstrong played with the Lovin Spoonful.
Dave from The Zutons loves them, so much so that he invited them on tour, twice and we were invited to support The Magic Numbers, The Guillemots and The Pipettes last year


If you wish to purchase any bit of Misty's merchandise such as T Shirts, CD's or finger puppets, then the best thing you can do is get yourself down to the MISTY'S LITTLE SHOP

YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE VIDEO FOR 'FASHION PARADE' HERE
It was made by Mark Locke and his site features other Mistys' videos including THE STORY OF LOVE and HEY MAN

Ey up, I just got an email about you playing Newcastle in November... but it's the day before I see Cardiacs in Leeds! A divine sacrifice I'm sure you'll agree, but are you playing in the Yorkshire region on the same tour?

Keep hearing Fashion Parade all over myspace- its worthy to get so much coverage ,we love it !

The vocals sound so familiar ,but cant pin it down to who ,but its your own sound and its great

Your results are somewhat different from our new dodgy demo sounds

Hi Gareth

Any chance of playing 'Guilfest' this year with your pals 'Dodgy'. Reckon it's a bill that's made for you to play. 'Funny times' is me favourite album of recent times. Still can't stop playing 'She fills the spaces' off 'Black hole' though. Rich from Hull

It's Jeremy Vine isn't it on Fashion Parade? Ignore the last stupid question. Still wondering what happened to Noddy though, what is that his Walsall tones didn't appeal to a mass market?
Nathan





Apr 10 2008 8:51 AM

Alright, I might sound like an idiot here... but anyway, I need to ask.

What happened to Noddy on Fashion Parade? Is that the mighty Mark Goodier doing the vocal bit now?

Yes, mock me, but I needed to know!
