The Crumplehorns
Originally called Wilton Foot Clinic, The Crumplehorns are a post-punk rock band originally formed in 1988 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. The original members were Tim Bramley (vocals, crumplehorn), David Yates (guitar. slide), Macolm (bass), replaced by Adam Nash (bass), Robin (guitar) and Tony (drums, booze). Tony's friend stood in for him after the band wore him out. His name is lost to history but his reputation as the man who stole the door money from the Cooperage gig remains intact.

Rehearsals took place on Westgate Road, The Riverside Club, Rednose Studios (Tynemouth) and Cluny Warehouse, Byker. The band recorded one demo and several good quality live tapes. They gigged at The Riverside, The Cumberland Arms, The Broken Doll and The Cooperage.

After a power failure at a particular gig at The Cumberland Arms with Seize the Infidels, Nash wired the entire PA to a single 13amp socket with bare wires and matchsticks! Their lighting rig consisted of old boat lights and a "borrowed" sound to light box from a closed-down nightclub.
