He appears on a Teddy Picker b-side and also performed with them at the Manchester Apollo in 2007. He and Alex did a joint interview for the Guardian, if I'm not mistaken.

How on earth did I end up thinking otherwise then? Maybe because the chap who introduced me to them is from Sheffield and was trying to claim them, and maybe just because I'm a bloody idiot. A history of pop and dance indeed, but at the moment it seems to be known very much for indie rock - as far as I can tell anyway. I just don't listen to enough dance, or even pop really, to know what's going on anywhere in that particular scene. So they were. How on earth did I end up thinking otherwise then?

A history of pop and dance indeed, but at the moment it seems to be known very much for indie rock – as far as I can tell anyway. I just don’t listen to enough dance, or even pop really, to know what’s going on anywhere in that particular scene.
