From Wikipedia: Frankie Stubbs (Frankie Norman Warsaw Stubbs) is a British singer-songwriter best known for his work with punk-band Leatherface, who has also produced records for many noted underground groups. In the early 1990’s Leatherface were one of a small group of home grown bands that the UK music press deemed fit to cover alongside the grunge bands flooding in from the United States. This was in no small part down to the bands second album ‘Mush’ from 1991, which is regarded by many as a classic.

Assembly Now are a band from London, formed in a disused warehouse stacked high with broken furniture, painted-over windows and forgotten bric-a-brac. Singer and guitarist Gavin Dwight, guitarist Maxim Fernandez, bassist Howard Sutton and drummer Andrew Lusher have been writing and playing together since January 2005.

Just like Evil Nine, there were 2 of them & Vile Evils were neither vile nor evil, not really. The name came from their favourite punk rock tune, "Ambition" by Subway Sect, which closes with the line "And I won't be tempted by vile evils cos vile evils are vile evils". Can't argue with that now, can you? They were formed when the 2005 reunion of Pop Will Eat Itself (PWEI) failed to become a full-time project. Former singer Clint Mansell had declared himself too busy with his film soundtrack work and that was that. Oh well...
Weebl, (real name Jonti Picking) owner of www.weebls-stuff.com, is a comedic flash animator/musician. Most of his jokes are completely random, or deal with pie in some way. Weebl created the "Weebl and Bob" series of flash animations, which consist of two egg-like objects, a large one named Weebl, and a smaller one named Bob. They talk incoherently, but this problem is fixed with speech bubbles. They have bad grammar (e.g. "You bringed back pie!").
