Mighty Boosh

Oliver Ralfe (aka Oly of the Ralfe Band) has made a Mighty Boosh documentary.

Here’s some text we pinched straight from the Ralfe Band’s website;

Shot in an observational style by award-winning filmaker Oliver Ralfe, the film provides an intimate and honest portrait of life on the road for the Mighty Boosh.

The DVD is packed with extras featuring Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, including four short films.

And the title of this DVD; The Mighty Boosh on Tour: Journey of the Childmen. It even has its own website.

One for the Christmas list then.

That and a Ralfe Band album (for £5) or 7″ vinyl (for £4) from the Loose shop perhaps?

Subtle…

Yes folks! Truck Festival is this weekend! To celebrate this we’ve put together a Truck playlist;

Keep on trucking!



Loose bands playing are as follows:-

RALFE BAND – SATURDAY – MARKET STAGE – 7.30PM
TREVOR MOSS & HANNAH-LOU – SUNDAY – TRUCK STAGE – 3.40PM
DANNY AND THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD – SUNDAY – TRUCK STAGE – 4.45PM

Ahead of today’s nationwide release of The Bunny & The Bull we caught up with Oly Ralfe to talk about the soundtrack that Ralfe Band recorded.

Q. So how did your involvement with Bunny & The Bull Come about?
Oly Ralfe: We were invited to record a demo for a couple of scenes. We just went for it hard over a couple of days, and they liked it more than anyone elses demo. I’ve always thought it’d be great to create film music but didn’t expect to land a sizeable catch like this. It was quite a fish to fry.
