Argument About Yellow

From: Brighton

Influences: Girls on bikes, David Attenborough, understanding things, cakes, smiles and not understanding things.

Profile: A firework display in 2001 nearly ended Argument About Yellow frontman Nikky French’s musical career. A rogue firework shot through the crowd at head level and exploded in Nikky’s face, leaving him with damage to his left ear. “Luckily my hearing improved from no sound for the first week to between a half and a third hearing loss,” says Nikky. “It made mixing sounds very difficult, but I found ways to work round it.”

The results can be heard in debut single, Some Grips Slip, released on their own Broken World Records label. The song, which mixes electronic and acoustic sounds, is accompanied by an animation put together by Nikky, which is on their MySpace page and Youtube.
