ALISON EIRE
Alison
Eire became part of the Cheltenham Treatment (a group of bootlegging rapscallions
that included 'Underground', a precursor to PhatBoy) in 2001, and shortly
afterward got involved with Ben Mitchell. Their first musical collaboration
in 2002 was the last Ben Mitchell solo LP 'Somebody Stop Me', for which
she provided drum work on various tracks. She has made similar contributions
on every Struwwelpeter album since and has also begun work on EIRE, an
electronica project that will, like Struwwelpeter, boast a wide variety
of contributors (including Ben Mitchell as producer).
JIM FORD
A
true underground performer, in that his involvement thus far has been
scarce but top notch. Jim has made a handful of sample contributions to
Ben Mitchell's work, including the 2002 solo CD 'Somebody Stop Me' and
the second Struwwelpeter album 'Rapeseed' (2004). In August 2004 he provided
backing and laptop electronics for two live shows performed by Ben Mitchell
to promote 'Rapeseed'.
JOHN HARRIS
One
of the co-founders of the Cheltenham Treatment alongside Josie Warren
and Ben Mitchell in 1999, John started his collaborative work way back
in 1998, making copies of Ben's demo tapes and giving them out to anybody
with a free hand or pocket. He provided guitar samples for 'Somebody Stop
Me' and the Struwwelpeter albums, the first of which also featured noise
tracks conceived with partner Pete Philips. He is currently writing and
distributing the PhatBoy Media newsletter.
PETE PHILIPS
Incredible
guy, real trooper, all-around awesome dude and author of the text for
this website. Pete's first contributions to Struwwelpeter were the selection
of artsy noise pieces conceived with John Harris that pad out the first
Struwwelpeter CD 'You're All So Precious'. He continues to source out
random samples for use on subsequent Struwwelpeter releases.
ROB CREIGHTON
As well as being Ben Mitchell's laptop jockey for a number of live Struwwelpeter shows, Rob has also added percussive contributions to 'Agnosticaust'.
