DICK TREVOR - Flying Rhino, Phatasm, Dragonfly
Dick Trevor started making music while at college doing sound engineering in '93. He and Matt Coldrick teamed up and had a go at making a trance track.TIP Records loved it and put out.From then on they became the Green Nuns of the Revolution. They made tracks for most of the english trance labels around then (Dragonfly,TIP,Flying Rhino,Phantasm) and on various compilations,releasing only one album,"Rock Bitch Mafia" on Flying Rhino.
After a couple of years making music together they teamed up with keyboard player Neil Cowley (The Neil Cowley Trio,Fragile State) who was then playing with the Brand New Heavies and he started to put more funk into the music.They did many gigs around the world using live guitars and keyboards and sometimes an extra percussionist,going for the rock n roll performance.They even did a video for MTV (it was a while ago....!!) which you can find below.The nuns went their separate ways in 98 and Dick started to produce music with many different artists and people.
Within the Flying Rhino stable he and James Monro formed the Bumbling Loons releasing a few singles and tracks on the label.They also did a couple of remixes for ManMadeMan and Sonkite.They recently started writing music together again,under their own names, releasing "Washout" on Iboga and "The Big Squeeze" on Flow Records.The duo get together annualy or when they can as they live opposite ends of the globe now!
Dick also teamed up with George Barker (Slinky Wizard) to form Slinky Nuns & Seeka as well as Barramundi with Ronnie Biggs(Slinky).
On Twisted Records Dick did collaborations with Simon Posford as Infernal Machine and Tristan as Trickster.He also did a Western Rebel Alliance remix with Jules Evans (producer/fisherman) for the Shpongle Remix album of the track "Crystal Skulls".And he put two tracks together for each Backroom Beats album under the name "Hierophant" with Ed Bigland.
On Phantasm there were collaborations with Chris Boing as the Bisto Boys and John Ford as Mindfield/Bisto Boys and then more recently with John's son Junya (Eskimo) as Jumanji (who incidentally inspired me a lot!).
Dick also teamed up with Jon Om who used to run Aquatec Records and formed Green Oms,they released an album entitled "Coming Through In Waves" on Dragonfly Records in 2002 and did a couple of cheeky bootlegs as GrooveSniffas.One of the highlights for the Oms was playing at the first Universo Paralello in Alto Paraiso where Jon met his future wife!
Dick also joined forces with Jules Hamer from Aphid Moon and came up with AMD which has had releases on Alchemy and Nano records.The debut album "Bigfish" was released on Nano in Feb 07 so check it out if you haven't heard it!
