Tired of the blazing spotlight of fame, The Stupids imploded sometime in 1989.....founding member Marty having been kicked out for failing to show up to a gig, Ed leaving to pursue his dream of being the godfather of UK Emo and Stevie walking out on auditions with Gizz Butt because he thought it sounded shit - which it did.....
Tommy ended up cleaning windows in Pomona, Ca saving up to buy a sampler which opened up a whole new world of possibilities and spawned his Klute moniker. 15 years later, 5 albums and countless world DJ tours he still continues to be Klute, even as we speak.
In 2007 Marty had a crisis and realized he had been wasting his time as nude model and began to hound Tommy to get together and play some punk rock again. After a few months of persistence it indeed happened and the chemistry was so good that Aston & Julie at Boss Tuneage felt the “vibes” all the way in their Bedford mansion, they simply had to be involved.
A bass player was found, his name was Ross, he was good so they let him in, added an “i” to the end of the name and christened him Rossi o’Schmitt. He is still with them.
A record advance of £1 was duly paid and The Stupids entered a very famous and expensive recording studio to begin recording what was their 45th album, entitled “The Kids Don’t Like It”. It was so good that Boss Tuneage, having paid for it decided it was good enough to release.
The question is - Why indeed did The Stupids return after years and years of no interest whatsoever?
“It was a matter of un finished business” says Marty, munching on his Marks & Spencer organic couscous, “I felt like such a loser, I had to do something”. It seems that it was out of pity that Tommy even agreed to meet up with him again.
The fact that no one has made any real attempts to stop them has encouraged The Stupids to hit the road once again and so far have already managed to smash the shit out of audiences across the UK. Full tour support is expected across the UK, Europe and Japan over 2009 / 2010/ 2011.
