OLI 'N CLIVE 'Excuse Me'
released in the UK on 03/09/2007
on Trial & Error Recordings

“Pirates rum, violins, dancing bears, saws, gypsies drowning...
The Bonnie and Clyde of saw rock...”

Stemming from the green pastures of Devon, Oli 'n' Clive met on the road to London carrying cello, drums, ukuleles, bass, cornet, harmonica, musical saw, guitar, violins, autoharp and eggs.
Oli is the singer and Clive is the rest of the band and around 2005 they got together to make sweet and fangled music, using all the bric-a-brac of instruments they could gather.
Sometimes they sound like the raw end of Dolly Parton and sometimes like the blithe end of Tom Waits.

"Excuse Me" is Oli ‘N Clive’s debut release and a lush ballad,
full of rare instruments and heartbreaking melodies, sung on a rainy night,
at the corner of Unrequited Love Avenue and Bitter Farewell boulevard.
The single is accompanied by a video made by Caroline Kalb and Cassie Fienburgh. It shows the adventurous attempt at catching a rolling cheese and the damaging effects such a passion can have...
On the B side, another Trial & Error signing, Wet Paint, gather their guitars and screams to give a noisy rendition of “Excuse Me”.

Oli: Acoustic guitar, singing and wailing, Sanjay: Violin and bass guitar, Clare: Violin, Ruby: Musical saw and ukulele, Maddy: Cello and bass guitar, Pottsy: Ukulele and eggs
William Reid: Drums, Melinda Bronstein: Drums
