Days they spent under leaves,
up and down old apple trees,
they won't talk to bees.
The Harvestmen are in our fields.

A good deal knocked up by the sun today,
in vain calling out the names of our lost friends,
as we ran North along the King's Highway to Babylon.
Three Lucky Boys
repainting a boat
Iron dreadfully corroded,
fourteen carbines with long bayonets,
as we ran North along the King's Highway to Babylon.

Big Block 454 Hebden Bridge, UK
Since the late 80s, Big Block 454 has been making exploratory, highly individual music that encompasses rock, funk,
electronica, folk music, Dadaist collage and much more besides.
Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist, but Big Block 454’s approach also encompasses the creation of sound on instruments they don’t know how to play, and those that hadn’t been invented before the band made them.
