    Artist description
    Bbunglle is a little know welsh accordian trio renowned for their ability to herd cattle while ripping out Nat King Cole covers on the accordians at 158 bpm. The lead accordianist : Llewton Carrapllj has no hands and resides in a vat of rancid pigs milk on his father's farm. Some say he made a pact with Satan in order to obtain his freakish no-hands approach to accordianisms. Others, however, scoff at such suggestions, prefering the theory that Llewton is actually just a very bad and odourous accordian player.The second accordianist, Leon Fffollgghhyyuu has no accordian as such, but rather uses a goat combined with a bucket of shaved lemons. He belives it is this which gives him his unique approach to the art of the accordian, and is quoted as saying "Having an actual accordian only makes for foolish players. Without an accordian, I can be unrestricted in my approach to it's inner nuances." Third accordianist, Tom Llllloghlllllloghoghagreed: "If I had a pound for every accordian I didn't have, I'd be a very fat man." Tom died in 1986 during the (also little known) welsh rebellion in which eighteen welsh attempted to conquer Africa with nothing but a tin whistle and a hatful of mummified frogs."Tom was always one for active activism" laughed Llewton from within his vat. "If only he had used a flute instead of the tin whistle, all might be different today. As it is, we are now a trio with two members, and if two other accordianists don't want to join, we'll have to become a quintet with two members, which would improve out sound out of sight."

    Artist History
    The band's first album, from 1976, "Walnuts for Wankers" wasn't the smash hit it should have been, due to the title of the first track: "All our fans are f***wits" A great track, though, worthy of many listens.The second album, 1981's "Goulash from the Grave" (from which the well known single "Accordian fun and three naked pygmies" was derived) charted on the welsh top 40 at a respectable #27 and was quite popular among the lawn bowl circuit for many years after.
