The Wombats

Back in 2003, when The Wombats were enrolled in Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts (LIPA). Local lads Murph and Dan, despite playing cricket against each other for their respective schools near Strawberry Fields, only actually met each other at LIPA aged 19 when Murph turned up trolleyed at Dan's flat. Murph thought Dan was "a complete muppet with pink and grey hair", Dan (quite rightly) thought Murph was a "fellow piss-head". So naturally they started playing gigs together (at The Cavern Club, notably) before they nabbed bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen (fresh at LIPA from his hometown of Elverum in Norway) from the seven other bands he'd joined within a fortnight of arriving. Armed with such early wonky pop classics as 'The Ostrich Song' and a tune now only remembered by the band as "the standing at the bus stop one", the three - plus an American guitarist called Ben who was in the band for a few months, whose speciality was a Mexican "areeeeba!" noise - embarked on four years of tall tales of boys and girls and marsupials.
