Artist History Go Rimbaud was violently conceived on the floor of a cold, dark shithole in Fife. JS was strung out on Buckfast and valium, having just recorded a couple of songs for the inestimable Fence Collective, and celebrated in the appropriate style. But now all the friends had split, the candles were flickering out and the mood had changed from smug self-congratulation to the kind of searing, shitty evil that you only really get in the Scottish night. There’s only a few albums that really work for that sort of scene. And suddenly there it was, Patti Smith chanting GO RIMBAUD GO RIMBAUD like some kind of externalized orgasm lifting away the quivering paranoiac hate and bringing back the memories of every tender adventure that you ever had. Back in London JS exhumed his old friendship with Dom, a man well used to playing in great bands with shitty names (The Cardboard Jon Idea, The International Language of Mime). Together they used ouija boards, voodoo magic, yage shamanist trances, and The Loot to track down Magdalen and 777, both tremendous musicians with free spirits and no famous relatives (or so they claim). Now that Go Rimbaud are around, all we can do is wait to see what kind of malevolent, spiteful, rude little tricks they can play before they really piss someone off and get in serious trouble.
