"Toasted Heretic are the Withnail & I of music..."
-Pierce Healy of The Dirty Pictures, 2006
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
"Toasted Heretic's songs were decidedly outside the mainstream: comedic, obscene, irreverent, anti-corporate, intellectual, and absurd. Gough's flamboyant showmanship contributed to the image. While effortlessly borrowing from Vladimir Nabokov and Stephen Spender, the band found Frank Zappa, Camper Van Beethoven and Rabelais just as influential. In perhaps the band's best-known song Galway Bay, Gough sings:
The sun goes down on Galway Bay
The daughter goes down on me
Her dad's not due till one or maybe two
And I'm as happy as I'll ever be."
NEWS, MAY 2006:
Lawyers for Tayto crisps are still in discussion with Toasted Heretic, with both sides trying to resolve the ongoing dispute over the sleeve of Now In New Nostalgia Flavour. The earlier demand from Tayto to "withdraw and destroy all copies" has been moderated somewhat. More news as it comes in...
BACK TO THE ALBUM:
Well, after fifteen years of constant, unrelenting effort, Toasted Heretic have finally released Now In New Nostalgia Flavour. Long-awaited is too small a word for it...
Now In New Nostalgia Flavour contains both of Toasted Heretic's impossible-to-get, legendary lost cassette albums, "Songs for Swinging Celibates" and "Charm and Arrogance", each on their own delicious disc.
This is their first time EVER on CD, and bonfires will burn on the hill-tops from Spiddal to Seattle in celebration.
Or, as Ireland's leading newspaper, The Irish Times, said recently:
"Once again, we can swing to the sounds of "Sodom Tonight", "Very Naughty Party", "LSD (isn't what it used to be)", and "Love Theme from 'Yeats: The Movie'"... Let's face it, if - like Julian Gough - you'd written such timeless lyrics as "The sun goes down on Galway Bay / The daughter goes down on me", then why would you bother writing any new songs?"
-Irish Times, 2005
All the early classics are here in their original form, as recorded in Neil's living-room...
There's also a 48-page booklet, containing a full-colour illustrated history of the band, with lyrics, rare photos (many of them extremely embarassing) and behind-the-scenes stories by the band members
