O.K... This band have been a part of my life since i was a kid and where i come from, are about as obscure as The Rolling Stones... So, as many of the folk who've commented here seem to have missed the point somewhat and it's only 1wolfoutlaw who's actually hit the nail on the head (or at least said as much)....
The "freaky dude" is called Robert and is one of the the nicest, most well adjusted people you could wish to meet..
(continued above..)
..I'm sure you will have heard Steve's drumming elsewhere and i'd be surprised if you've not heard other material by this band (even if you don't know it yet)..
They do know how to tune by ear and there's nothing rudimentary about the effect created for this number (sounds good dunnit?)
They are still together and touring... see them..and rub shoulders after the show..
Above all.. check out their other stuff, they are one of the best bands the U.K. have ever produced..
And uh.. they mean it....
Amazing song from an amazing, and I think, very underrated band. TEBB kind of got lost amongst the Pink Floyds and Genesises and other heavy prog rock bands of the time, which was a shame, as TEBB did some wonderful, original stuff, which sounded unlike anything else. Superb stuff.
