The Dentists

The Dentists rarities album "If All The Flies Were One Fly" is released officially on 6 September 2010, having previously been on sale available only at the reunion gigs in March. It is now available from discerning retail outlets as well as through the likes of Amazon, HMV and the usual online stores. This is the video of the opening track from 1992, "Creature Out of Control"



This was written for a recent first album re-issue ;



“The Dentists existed, from the mid-eighties to the

mid-nineties, on the fringes of numerous "renaissance of guitar

music" movements, psychedelia, trash, mod, C86, paisley underground,

britpop, but never threw in their lot with any of them. Who wants to live and

die with a scene? The Dentists were different; their own band. Not for them a

headlong rush from obscurity to fame and back to oblivion in 2 or 3 years. They

spent eleven years on the backburner plotting a slow career trajectory, usually

on an upward incline but ultimately not enough to propel them into orbit. It

all happened around them as they observed but never quite got to be on the

inside looking out.”



'Bout sums it up!



After Bob's departure, Mick, Mark and Rob recruited a new

guitarist and continued for an album as Coax, while Bob became a founder member

of Fortune West. After Coax, Mick went on to form Fortress Madonna, with major

help from Bob and a little help from Mark. FM released an album and an EP. He

now lives and works in Kenya.  In 2005,

Mark and Bob collaborated in The Great Lines, who appeared at SXSW 2005, and

there's an unreleased album sitting around waiting, hoping. Mark went on to

front The Echo Heights, whose first album "Your Fortune As Told By The

Stars" was released in 2008. Ian continues to drum for The Armitage Shanks

and Bob pursues his own solo endeavours helped out by Mr Rob Grigg on drums.



But of course now they are all coming together again for a

wonderful weekend of Dentistry in March with two very long awaited reunion gigs

in the UK.



In addition an equally long awaited album of rare and unreleased tracks entitled "If All The Flies Were One Fly" is released in early 2010 to coincide with the gigs. It features demo versions of favourites such as She Dazzled Me With Basil and House The Size Of Mars, covers of Are Friends Electric? and Cornflake Girl, as well as 15 songs never before released in any format.
