With their strange, catchy, uplifting songs, outrageous stage presence and improbable
merchandise (items include the possibly unique 3D cinematic band flickbook
kit), Leeds boys Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers
ares as essential to a good time as cheese and pineapple
on a stick.
Their video and single-with-accompanying-sheet-music The Seaweed Under
the Sofa has acquired something of a cult following.
Virtuosic piano, delicious drumming, twanging ukulele, astounding
vocals and a tuba, rooting around at the back like a mother elephant,
are brought together to beautiful effect by this fantastic quartet.
They've one foot
in the old-time Music Hall knees up, one in inventive,
creative new comedy and the other in the best party ever.
Biscuithead & the Biscuit Badgers
truly are a tuba-powered marvel!

and hilariously funny. Whatever else you do this weekend, you must
check out the video" |

“It was epic ! The Badgers played a stormer and had the crowd eating out of their hand. Their witty, intelligent, eccentric madness was absolutely perfect and was a fitting end to a fantastic night. Thanks Boys" |

“Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers were definitely one of our highlights for Nozstock 2012. I have had more positive audience comments for Biscuithead this year than any other band we put on. Their quirky lyrics and offbeat ethos suited Nozstock perfectly ...I'd jump at any chance I got to see these guys again... " |

“Surreal, original and utterly entertaining, Biscuit Head and the Biscuit Badgers never fail to both baffle and enthral their audience. We have booked the Biscuit Badgers for two events and would not hesitate to do so again - their professional manner and the fact that they are simply very nice chaps make them a promoter's dream" |
