The origin behind the infamous series of DIH with friends at Christmas
began back in 2002 when for a one off joke as a side project
from his more official work in DIH, Andy N one year decided
with the help of one or two friends decided to do in his words ‘
A Christmas album for those people who don’t really like Christmas’
Where in the space of half an hour (as was the original plan) – Andy
And a few friends would murder, cripple and take the piss out of
As many songs as they could.
However, as is the nature of the beast with this sort of thing
Things snowballed and by the time the second album came along,
It had become officially a DIH project where they would between
The three of them alongside with an ever increasing cast play
Around with the myth of the Christmas which will often be funny
And sad sometimes within the same breath.
The music contained within this series of albums are varied and
Can vary from acoustic singer songwriter stuff to music that
Could appeal to fans of Aphex Twin, fans of the spoken word
And generally people who like their music to challenge and make
Them think.
