The most famous member of the banmd is Fyfe Dangerfield -
Fyfe Dangerfield began writing songs in his native Birmingham. His early band went by the name of Senseless Prayer, who recorded a session for John Peel's Radio 1 show in 1999.
Dangerfield then began song writing under the name "Fyfe Dangerfield and the Accident", and in 2004 he featured alongside Misty's Big Adventure, Mike in Mono, Dreams of Tall Buildings, and X Is Greater Than Y on a promotional CD that was offered free with The Birmingham Post, called Broader Than Broad Street. He then joined Paul 'Booby' Tooby on his "Ragamuffin Blues but Holes in my Shoes" tour.
Dangerfield later moved to Bromsgrove, and more recently London, where he recruited the current line up. He also worked in a school called Cranbrook College.
The band are signed to Fantastic Plastic, who will release their debut album in 2006, but after offers from several majors they will eventually move to Polydor. The band ended a very successful 2005 opening for Rufus Wainwright's sold-out U.K. tour.
