The Fall and Rise of King Curly was put together largely by fans, who sent their requests via the web. In some ways, it charts the band’s progression over a ten-year period, from a three-piece with “King” Steve Appel, Elmo Reed, and Greg J Walker (now of Machine Translations), through to its current incarnation as a four-piece with Appel, Reed, Zoe Hauptmann and John Hibbard.

Two new tracks, Falling Downstairs and Dreams Come True bookend the collection, while the brilliant All I Want is Happiness (Track 14) is a fresh, live recording. The first single, Falling Downstairs was written as a soundtrack to a new FTO-funded animated short, “Dog”, to be released later this year. The hilarious ‘‘Viagra Remix’’ of Let’s Have An Orgy is another one to look out for.
