Badly Drawn Boy (b. October 2, 1970) is an independent singer/songwriter,
born Damon Gough in Bolton, England. Gough chose his stage name from a
character that appeared in the cartoon show Jamie and his Magic Torch, which
he saw on TV at a party in Trafford, Manchester in 1995. Before he thought
of using this name he made some 'business cards', each one unique, with a
printed picture of a drawing by his nephew, and a small collage by Gough.

This was then laminated and given out to friends and people at clubs in
Blackburn and Manchester. The Twisted Nerve empire was later spawned after a
chance meeting with Andy Votel at the Generation X bar in Manchester. His
friends Scott Abraham and Damon Hayhurst were contributing to an exhibition
held by the Space Monkey Clothing Company at the bar and Votel was DJing
that evening. Their first seven-inch single, EP1, was pressed about a year
later to critical acclaim, although only 500 copies were made.
In 2002, Q magazine named Badly Drawn Boy in their list of the "50 Bands To
See Before You Die", although this was as part of a sub-list of "5 Bands
That Could Go Either Way".
On January 31, 2001, Gough bought his own hat at an auction, raising £1,500
for a Kosovan children's charity.
Gough is a self-confessed Bruce Springsteen fan. |
