Biography
Simon Felton finally came of age in May 2009 with the release of his first “proper” solo album called Failing in Biology. Simon had been singing and playing bass guitar with indie-pop stalwarts Garfields Birthday since the mid-1990s and became the reluctant front man in 2004 after the departure of founding member James Laming. It would have been very easy to let the band rust in peace, but instead they started playing gigs once again (including three appearances at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool, UK) and began writing/recording new material that would end up on their much-acclaimed Let Them Eat Cake album completed in 2008. This surge of activity and resulting boost in confidence prompted Simon to ask Californian friend (and cult-superstar) Anton Barbeau, together with West Country psych-pop legend Alan Strawbridge to not only produce, but also play on his debut solo outing! The album was very well received, with #2 already recorded and due for release in 2010.
