Earl Brutus are a band I remember being mentioned a lot on The Evening Session when I was 15, 16-ish, but not one I ever recall hearing for myself. I saw their singles advertised in the NME sometimes, and remember being particularly taken by the title “The SAS And The Glam That Goes With It”, but I never sought them out. Ten years too damn late, I actually bothered listening to them thanks to Steve Hewitt’s article about Sanderson’s passing on FreakyTrigger: [...] [...] The one that’s really stung lately, though, is the passing of Nick Sanderson, formerly of World of Twist and Earl Brutus.

We started following the FA Cup in the first qualifying round a few times but never got past the last sixteen. This was shot by Paul Kelly at a village called North Leigh (Hellenic League) when they played Newport County in a Cup game and got a record attendance. Such a shame the film never got finished. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VtUqj055lk Nick in a nutshell.

I think it's telling that one of the best artists in the country, Jeremy Deller, is a Brutus nut. How much more exciting/adventurous/hilarious/emotional were they than any of the Britpop groups who got gold discs (a frightening number of whom were thoroughly useless). Only Pulp came close to the lyrical acuteness ("I wear the clothes that make you cry" is one of my very favourite opening lines), humour, and nu pop thrill of Earl Brutus. I'll remember Nick as the best company I could have wished for on a crumbling terrace at Edgware Town, Chesham United or Purfleet; listening to Focus on the pub jukebox; wondering what inspired Robert Palmer's I Didn't Mean To Turn You On ("Who was he singing to? The washing machine?"); the only person I knew who meant there was a one-in-five chance we'd be thrown out of the pub, Laurel and Hardy style, before the end of the evening. He was a total one-off and a massively inspiring bloke. I wish everyone could have met him. A lot of Nick’s obituaries have mentioned how Earl Brutus had more in common with Brit Art than Brit Pop.
