"The Doo-Dah band was a dada band & that I think influenced us enormously." - Eric Idle
"I began collecting Bonzos albums when I was 12 years old & I can honestly say I am who I am because of them." - Stephen Fry
Formed in the early 1960s by art students Vivian Stanshall & Rodney Slater, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band began as a jazz ensemble parodying the music of the 1920's & 30's before evolving into a pioneering force in rock & comedy. Their satirical songs & eclectic performances quickly made them a favourite on the London underground scene. They gained national fame through appearances on the TV show "Do Not Adjust Your Set," which also featured future members of Monty Python. Known for their hit "I'm The Urban Spaceman," produced by Paul McCartney under the pseudonym Apollo C. Vermouth, the Bonzo's left an indelible mark on the British music & comedy landscape.
"The Bonzo's were a big part of the scene around The Who in the '60s. They were a big part of my life." - Pete Townshend
