History [ edit ]
Their early albums were released on Pork Recordings , also based in Hull: Old Codes New Chaos Maim That Tune Mess Black Market Gardening , Luck Be a Weirdo Tonight Power Clown . After creating their own music label with Sim Lister, Twentythree Records, they released further albums A Touch of Cloth , Jump Leads , The Life And Times of Phoebus Brumal , Dicks and Retrospective .
They have also released two DJ mix albums , Another Late Night: Fila Brazillia Azuli Records ' "Another Late Night " series, and Another Fine Mess: Fila Brazillia , and two collections of remixes: Brazilification and B2 .
Their collaborations include working with Harold Budd and Bill Nelson to release Three White Roses & A Budd (Twentythree Records, 2002).
They co-produced the first Twilight Singers LP Twilight as Played by The Twilight Singers Greg Dulli in 2001.
Cobby and McSherry have produced more than 70 remixes for artists including Black Uhuru , Busta Rhymes , DJ Food , Lamb , Radiohead and The Orb .
Bill Hicks , the controversial American stand-up comedian, satirist and social critic, "appears" on Fila Brazillia's album Maim That Tune
Their music has made its mark both on small-screen blockbusters (such as CSI Sex and the City Dogtown and Z-Boys Riding Giants Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos New York Cosmos soccer team.
One of their better-known songs, A Zed and two L's , appears on Jam Chris Morris .
Their song "Here Comes Pissy Willy" from the Power Clown album featured as the theme to the James Whale Showon Talk Radio in the late 1990s.
After releasing their Retrospective album in 2006, Cobby and McSherry quietly ended their longtime partnership. Currently, McSherry is a lecturer in Sound and Music Production at the University of Lincoln .
Cobby went on in late 2006 to form Steel Tiger Records with Sim Lister. Over the course of 2007, the label saw various digital releases by J*S*T*A*R*S (Cobby and Lister), Peacecorps (Cobby and guitarist Rich Arthurs) and by The Cutler (Cobby and ex-head of Pork Recordings David "Porky" Brennand).
The first formal album by The Cutler on Steel Tiger Records was released on 7 July 2008, and the most recent "Everything Is Touching Everything Else" (Steel Tiger Records ST016, 10 June 2013) – with vocals by Isobel Helen, Archie Heselwood, Andrew Taylor and Little Glitches – distributed by Kudos Records Ltd.
In 2013 Steve Cobby provided the soundtrack for the Hull 'UK City of Culture 2017' bid film - 'This City Belongs to Everyone', produced by Nova Studios - on 20 November 2013 Kingston upon Hull , East Riding of Yorkshire, was announced as the winning City, and so as UK City of Culture 2017 .
After a 16 year hiatus, on 6 March 2020, the band returned with the release of the MMXX EP.
In 2023, they appear to have released the Subtle Body album/EP, with two original tracks and two unreleased versions.
