Biography
Way back when nobody could really remember, two guys met up in a campsite, both blown away by the fact they’d come travelling with identical pairs of Adidas Sambas. What are the odds? You tell me. Their lives forever entwined by the fact they had a common love of affordable but solid footwear, the boy’s in question, Martin ‘what do you mean it looks kinky from over there’ Dann and Ben ‘what’s your name sugar’ Fox, decided that Song should definitely follow wine and Women.
Out of a shared love of surfing and nomadic wanderings, the first word, on the novella that was to become The Blims, had been put to paper. One summer, a P.A system and an aussie non-bongo playing bongo player later (Aussie Ben) and the engine in the heart of the blims bus turned over for the first time. Those first few stops, in some of the sleaziest bars and cafes known to mother France, were to provide priceless experience and timeless memories for the fledgling band. They found out that free beer and steak and chips round the back was the currency of the road and were more than happy to put the overtime in. 80 hours plus some weeks and that was during the depression.
After numerous bovine had been devoured the band came home to Wales and began to lay the foundations upon which they now tread. The boys needed a big comeback tour and tapping into their veritable wealth of musical talent, burst back onto to the burgeoning rock scene that exists within the hallowed walls of Bridgend town.
