b. Damon Gough, 2 October 1970, Manchester, England. Gough established a cult following on the strength of two EPs, EP1 and EP2 on his own label, Twisted Nerve. He runs the label with Andy Votel, a recording artist on the Manchester-based Grand Central label. The releases provoked something of an A&R bidding war before Gough signed to XL Records for a reputedly six-figure sum. He had also contributed "Nursery Rhyme' to U.N.K.L.E."s 1998 release, Psyence Fiction. The track was considered by many to be one of the album's highlights. Badly Drawn Boy's sound has a sparse, lo-fi quality and the music features repetitive guitar melodies, strong percussion and Gough's ethereal vocals. His live shows are notoriously amateurish, Gough sometimes forgetting lyrics or playing material that he has not finished writing. The performances are considered brilliantly original by some and a sham by others. His fourth EP, It Came From The Ground was released in April 1999, accompanied by live performances in Liverpool and London. A further EP, Once Around The Block, was released in August. Two further EPs followed before the release of Gough's highly anticipated debut album, the aptly-titled The Hour Of Bewilderbeast. Over 18 sprawling tracks Gough managed to weave his disparate influences into a quietly compelling whole.
The album won the UK's Mercury Music Prize in September 2000, with a further award at the annual Q magazine event in November.
The singer returned in April 2002 with the soundtrack to the movie adaptation of Nick Hornby's About A Boy, and enjoyed a UK hit with the gorgeous single "Silent Sigh". The follow-up to The Hour Of Bewilderbeast was released in November. Gough clearly has talent, with, or maybe one day without, the ridiculous woollen hat.
