Blurt is a musical group founded by poet, saxophonist and puppeteer Ted
Milton in 1980 in Stroud, Gloucestershire.Ted Milton's brother Jake Milton,
formerly in psychedelic group Quintessence, on drums and Peter Creese on
guitar.After three albums Creese left the band to be replaced by Steve
Eagles, former member of Satans Rats, The Photos and Bang Bang
Machine.Shortly thereafter brother Jake left to be replaced by Paul Wigens,
with a short interim on drums by Nic Murcott. Eagles was replaced by Chris
Vine as guitarist from 1990 to 1994. The latest drummer in the band is Bob
Leith, also on drums in Cardiacs.
Blurt's compositions are based around repetitive minimalistic guitar
and/or saxophone phrases with relentless, machine-like drum beats, over
which Ted Milton orates his lyrics in a variety of "voices" that betray his
days as a puppeteer. The overall effect is hypnotising, compelling and
sometimes even unsettling.
Blurt have a very strong live
