Another spawn of the legendary Chris Knox (with cohort Alec Bathgate), Tall Dwarfs have influenced alternative collectives across the shaky isles, and share a DIY aesthetic and 1981 birth date with the Flying Nun label. Formed from the remnants of Knox's former band, Toy Love, the underground lo-fi pioneers made do without a drummer, instead using household objects as percussion. The band was prolific in churning out EPs, including 1983's Canned Music but didn't release their first album Weeville until 1990.
