Progressed through phases of space rock, krautrock, and now singing through the vacuum rock with our infamous silent vocalist Johnny, and our robot drummer And.D.
Johnny Nightingale, an Actor from Barnsley had supported the molecules in their Cult Film Captain Amazon where he played a Mum with muscles. This was a silent film and inspired the band to give Johnny the role of lead vocalist. His silent vocals were an instant success, with the added advantage that they could not afford a microphone. Johnny went on to patent many inventions including a sponge tuning fork and the extra large pint glass. He perfected his silent singing to the extent where he learnt how to stop breathing for the entire length of the live set. He left the band temporarily to tour Australian bars.

And.D is the Molecules most recent drummer taking over from the Robot Alien in the late nineties after having his hand successfully sown back on after a freak accident in a nightclub in Chester. Unfortunately he had his hand sown on the wrong way round, but this led to some useful time signatures being played that otherwise could only be played with a drum strapped to his head. Andy has spent much time developing his Drumkit Wonderland Studios in Hawarden, North Wales, in particular by investing in a sound proof fridge. His drumkit has been converted to electronic Roland V Drums. They look fantastic, but boy if you look inside them, they're nothing more than a cheap sensor from Tandy glued onto a bit of plastic.
Dave discovered the revolutionary HI-LO-HI-FI production technique. This together with collaborations with The ex Carpet Salesman Ryan Beno helped Dave establish a reputation for innovative sound production.
Rob is responsible for the majority of Molecules Album Covers as well as the grinding bass lines using his industrial standard Gemini Bass Guitar which was made out of a single tree with the branches and leaves left on. |
