Current Activity
A gig at Alan McGee's seminal The Queen Is Dead clubnight at London's Borderline venue in December 2008 had to be cancelled due to an injury to drummer Karl Butler. Despite receiving continual offers, the band never played live again - their final gig being at Club Fandango's 229 in London in September 2008.
The band finally released their debut album Fuzzo on CD and digital download in February 2010. The album was in the longlist for 2010's Mercury Music Prize but did not make the final shortlist.
There are no plans for new Brigadier Ambrose releases, though the 2007 recording Jesus Christ, Meet A Wisher Hat and an out-take of Fuzzo's Chatham Hill were made available as a free download for charity through the arts organisation Medway Eyes in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activity:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“It would be one of the greatest triumphs of humanity, one of the most tangible liberations from the constraints of nature to which mankind is subject, if we could succeed in raising the responsible act of procreating children to the level of a deliberate and intentional activity and in freeing it from its entanglement with the necessary satisfaction of a natural need.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
