The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (more often the Bonzo Dog Band) were the brainchild of a British art-school set of the 1960s. Part jazz band, part psychedelic rockers, the Bonzos came to the attention of a broader British public through a children's television programme, Do Not Adjust Your Set. The 1960s decade refers to the years from 1960 to 1969, inclusive. ...

The band's foundation

Unusually for a band, the actual date of conception for the Bonzos is known to us: September 25th, 1962. It was on that day that Vivian Stanshall (tuba, but later lead vocals along with other wind instruments) and fellow art student Rodney Slater (saxophone) bonded over a transatlantic broadcast of a boxing match between Floyd Patterson and Sonny Liston.

Rodney Slater had previously been playing in a trad jazz band at college with Chris Jennings (trombone) and Tom Parkinson (sousaphone). Eventually they recruited Roger Wilkes (trumpet) and Trevor Brown (banjo) from the Royal College of Art as they slowly turned their style from more orthodox music towards the sound of the Alberts and the Temperance Seven. Vivian was their next recruit and on that fateful day in 1962, he and Rodney christened the band, The Bonzo Dog Dada Band. Bonzo the dog after a popular British character created by artist George Studdy in the 1920s and Dada after the early 20th Century art movement. Trad jazz, short for traditional jazz is a music genre popular in Britain and Australia from the 1940s onward through the 1950s and which still has enthusiasts today. ...

Not long after Vivian, Rodney and Tom were evicted from their shared flat, the band added two more faces to the line-up, Goldsmiths College lecturer Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell and his lodger, songwriter/pianist, Neil Innes. According to www.neilinnes.org, "Bohay-Nowell" was added to Vernon Dudley's name by Vivian Stanshall.

The band had been working with drummer Tom Hedges before Rodney found Martin Ash, who later took the stage name of Sam Spoons and shortly afterwards got them their first pub gig, where they were noticed by Roger Ruskin Spear. Roger Ruskin Spear, the son of Ruskin Spear, was a founder member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, staying with it until its end. ...

Ruskin Spear, who was the son of the British artist Ruskin Spear claimed, "I couldn't believe anyone was that bad." He eventually changed his mind and, with his interest in the manufacture of early electronic gadgets/objets d'art and sound-making systems soon became an integral part of the band. Ruskin Spear (1911-1990) Born in Hammersmith England, he attended the local art school before going on to the Royal College of Art in 1930. ...

The line-up changed once again with the departure of Roger Wilkes, whose girlfriend demanded his resignation, and John Parry, the trombonist. The two were replaced by, respectively, Bob Kerr and "Big" Sid Nichols. The final 'classic' band member, "Legs" Larry Smith (their number one fan) joined in 1963, as a tuba player and tap-dancer (but later as a drummer), on Vivian's invitation.

The band's fortunes began to increase when their manager, Reg Tracey secured them a deal with Parlophone Records in April 1966. Their first single, a cover of the 1920s 'classic', My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies was backed with I'm Going To Bring A Watermelon To My Girl Tonight which was rather too risque for radio. Parlophone Records Parlophone is a record label which was founded in Germany prior to World War I by the Carl Lindstrom Company. ...

A second single, Alley Oop, backed with Button Up Your Overcoat followed in October of that year.

A move from jazz to rock

Although the Bonzos had started out playing jazz, they decided to embrace rock in order to counter claims that they were beginning to sound like the Temperance Seven. (In fact a former member, Bob Kerr, went on to create his own band Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band which combined the lunacy of the early Bonzo sound with music having a great deal in common with the Temperance Seven). Bob Kerrs Whoopee Band, also billed as Bob Kerr and His Whoopee Band, was a jazz band which started in the 1960s and continued into the 1990s. ...

As the band's fame increased, they appeared as the resident band on Do Not Adjust Your Set, a children's show notable for having several future members of Monty Python's Flying Circus and David Jason in the cast. From left to right: David Jason, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, and Eric Idle. ...

David Jason in A Touch of Frost. ...

Their first album Gorilla included Jazz, Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold which savagely parodied their early 'trad' jazz roots and featured some of the most deliberately inept jazz playing ever recorded. The Intro and the Outro in which every member of the band introduced and played a solo, started with genuine band members:

Hi there, nice to be with you, happy you could stick around.

Like to introduce "Legs" Larry Smith, drums

And Sam Spoons, rhythm pole

And Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, bass guitar

And Neil Innes, piano.

Come in Rodney Slater on the saxophone

Really wild, General! Thank you, sir.

Roy Rogers on Trigger [sound of flowing liquid].

Much later, Stanshall was to provide an introduction on Mike Oldfield's first instrumental album, Tubular Bells, which echoed the style of The Intro, but without the blatant absurdities.

Urban Spaceman et al.

They had a hit single in 1968 with I'm the Urban Spaceman which was produced by Paul McCartney under the pseudonym "Apollo C. Vermouth". The Beatles were great fans of the group and they featured them performing the song Death Cab for Cutie in their film Magical Mystery Tour. Their anarchic song Trouser Press — featuring a solo by Roger Ruskin Spear on a genuine trouser press he had fitted with a pickup — gave its name to an American anglophiliac rock magazine Trouser Press. Can Blue Men Sing the Whites? lampooned the British blues boom, and tap dancer/drummer "Legs" Larry Smith was an onstage hit with his lubricous dancing. Another notable number, Humanoid Boogie presaged rap music. Many of their songs parodied parochial suburban British attitudes, notably My Pink Half of the Drainpipe on the album The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse (a euphemism for a toilet built in a back garden).

The Bonzos toured the United States with The Who and also appeared at the Fillmore East with The Kinks. Intro'd as a "warm-up act" for the real show, the Bonzos rushed out and did a series of frenetic calisthenics. True to the dada spirit, Stanshall performed a mock striptease and Roger Ruskin Spear, with a platoon of robots (including one that sang I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles while actually blowing bubbles), did whatever he did without regard for what the rest of the band was doing. As for The Canyons of Your Mind, it featured such an incredibably bad guitar solo it drove audiences to open-mouthed delight. Before long, many larger bands would not play with Bonzo support because no one wanted to see the Bonzos leave the stage, which meant no one wanted to see the top-of-the-bill arrive on the stage.

One of the Bonzos' song titles, Cool Britannia, was revived as a label for a supposed trend in the UK media following the 1997 election of a Labour government (oblivious of the patently satirical intent of the original song).
