Side Projects
Mikey Georgeson began collaborating with Jyoti Mishra in 2001, under the band name of Carfax. The duo released two albums, Memento From The Digital Age and Minky Pauve.
While the band continue to do live performances, Georgeson launched a solo career under the pseudonym of Mr Solo. In November 2005, Mr Solo took part in a benefit show for War Child at Oxford House of Bethnal Green on the same bill as comedian Richard Herring and Chris Difford of Squeeze. Solo kicked off the evening with a version of "Whole Wide World" and also sang the old Devant favourite, "Pimlico". His next performance was as the support act for a David Devant show at Brighton's Komedia club in July 2006. Mr Solo has since gone on to perform regularly at venues across London, and released an album All Will Be Revealed in 2007, including several tracks ("Three Wishes", "Genius") which were previously recorded for Minky Pauve. In 2010 he released a second album, Wonders Never Cease.
Performing as Mr Solo, Georgeson has also made a number of appearances as part of This Happy Band, a loose collective of artists, poets and musicians who have performed together at art events including 'Dead Season / Live Art' for Limbo Arts in Margate and Nunhead Open Exhibition 2009 and 2011. Mr Solo is also a member of The Glam Chops, a side project of Art Brut's Eddie Argos who have appeared on Marc Riley's 6 Music show.
Georgeson is a lecturer at the University of East London, and has produced artwork shown by Sartorial Contemporary Art and Dulwich Picture Gallery.
James Foster is part of a performance art musical double act, Foster and Gilvan, who perform regularly by themselves and as part of Badstock Puppets and the Karaoke Circus. Both Foster and Georgeson have made a number of special guest appearances with Martin White's Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra.

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or projects:
“Why don’t you go home to your wife? I’ll tell you what. I’ll go home to your wife and outside of the improvements, you’ll never know the difference. Pull over to the side of the road there and let me see your marriage license.”
—S.J. Perelman, U.S. screenwriter, Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, and Norman Z. McLeod. Groucho Marx, Horsefeathers, a wisecrack made to Huxley College’s outgoing president (1932)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
