http://www.vinnypeculiar.com/diary.htm We hang around the venue and witness three other bands sound checking one of whom is BLURT who are so refreshingly different it hurts. They’re a three piece of sax/vox, guitar and drums and sound like Morphine and Captain Beefheart and John Coltrane. I get talking to their eloquent singer who looks like Jon Robbs sensible uncle. He informs that they work predominantly in Europe and rarely gig outside their London base. I suggest we get them on in Manchester as soon as we can. Let’s hope they get in touch and we do just that.

Hi Ted, just to tell you that after 20 years I'm still loving you sound. 1st time I listened to Blurt it was at a French Music festival, where I was with my friends Bisca a Neapolitan group playing there the same night. We drank and talked with you after the set. Your sense of humor was great as you music. I'd like to listen to you again in Italy. Could it be possible? New drummer is so cool as brother Jake was? Take care Ted. We love youalberto, alonzo29@fastwebnet.it

Hi Ted, Guy from the Rude Mechanicals here. Just trying to contact you about whether it is possible to share your drum kit on the gig we have together on Thurs. 15th Sept at Bull & Gate. If you could get back to me either way asap as I will have to arrange transport from Cambridge otherwise! Thanks in advance and look forward to seeing you on the night. Cheers, GuyGuy Avern, guyavern@tiscali.co.uk

http://jivechipmunk.blogspot.com/2005/07/4-bleedin-am.html Fact 24, a Factory Quarter: A recent vinyl buy from Ebay ... 2 LPs, four bands, one per side ... the biggest are Durutti Column (early "looped" guitar, ala Robert Fripp in his days w/Brian Eno) and my fave, Ted Milton's BLURT!! Blurt are like James Brown meets NIN ... truly PERFECT band, in the Primus/Morphine vein, in that they're totally unique and they realize and execute their vision to a T!

http://www.skratchmagazine.com/cd-reviews/CDreviewsAUG04.php BLURT THE FISH NEEDS A BIKE?THE BEST OF BLURT VOLUME 1 SALAMANDER RECORDS Is there really a better way to get introduced into a band than with all the best of the best already handpicked for you? Their laid-back and kick-back style is occasionally piqued with the spontaneity of the alto sax in all the right places. If you find yourself dancing, chances are it'll reflect their style and flair: your hips will shake to the consistency of the drum beat, yet your arms will be flailing with every surprise from the sax or wail from lead singer Ted Milton. -Mabel Lam

I was lucky enough to saw BLURT gig in Belgrade in February i think. Speechless!!!! They played just day after MC5, so they attracted 300 people, but Ted was very happy with attendence. Regular set was about 50 minutes, and then crowd was so impressed with them that encore lasted two times longer...it was just once encore, Ted told audience-we will play song by song, you said when it will be enough..brilliant!! They have some london fans with them followed them on tour, and they said that belgrade gig was best in last 15 years..shame we didn't record it... fantastic!!!

God, yeah.. how could I forget BLURT. Only saw them once, in The Africa Centre in Covent Garden in 1985 (they never played Dublin), the same week I saw Neubauten in ULU. Both outrageous gigs. Real watershed moments. Never saw "late" Blurt - presume the 85 line-up featured the bloke out of the Photos (improbably!) The original line-up circa 80 was fabulous - Ted, his brother Jake on drums (Jake had been in proggy/fusion type bands and had the tightest snare drum sound I've ever heard) and the fantastic, cadaverous Peter Creese on guitar - who Ted introduced as "Mr Peter Creese - the human loop". Which is as accurate a description as you'd hear. He just played the same riff over and over, unchangingly, throughout most of the songs, while Jake played round him and Ted, er, blurted over the top. Stunning stuff. Saw them play a tiny pub in Birmingham.

Ted Milton - very young rather ingenuous - could easily develop into quite a fair poet (I rather dug his line about "the sixth finger which the other ten obey"). http://www.grahambond.net/concertreviews-1.html

BLURT "Let There Be - The Best Of Volume 1 - The Fish Needs A Bike" **** cd - 2003 - Salamander (NEWT-1) - 49'02" Saxpunk! Maceo on motorspeed! Bird and Trane going 'Metallic KO' under the spell of Johnny Rotten's Pistols! African tribesmen supporting the miners' strike on a diet of "Trout Mask Replica"! Fela forsaking James Brown in order to join PIL! Quel primaeval energy! Ted Milton and his men are out and about again, as they always have, though not always under the Blurt monicker, and what better way to celebrate this than to reissue their seminal singles and other underground hits? Somewhere between a Certain Ratio, 23 Skidoo, Medium Medium, Rip Rig & Panic and the Pop Group on the one hand and the Lounge Lizards, Defunkt and NYC's avant-garde jazz à la Knitting Factory on the other, with a sniff of "Document + Eyewitness" Wire experiment and X Ray Spex excitement added to the heady brew, Blurt's intense, raw, energetic, sound still stands tall today. And could even inspire a few people who urgently need to rethink their plot before they reinvent the Members in response to the challenge launched by the White Stripes & co... Even if the neutron bomb or Thatcher are no longer worrying us. (Or did other threats take their place, he asked rhetorically.) This first volume features "Get", "My mother was a friend of an enemy of the people" and "Enemy ears" as the most 'famous' tracks. But no track will disappoint you if you can get as far gone as Blurt themselves. To me, the Stanshallesque "Down in the Argentine", for instance, was a pleasant discovery. And all praise to that clever person over at Salamander who reprinted some of the lyrics, incidentally! (pv) http://www.dma.be/p/ultra/uzine/0319.htm
