Bio:

.. .. Graham Day is a founder member of: The Prisoners, The Prime Movers, Planet and The SolarFlares. He has also played drums with Billy Childish in Thee Mighty Caesars and Bass in The Buff Medways. He also appeared in the Gift Horses alongside Martin Blunt and Jon Brookes before they formed The Charlatans. He has produced The Discords, Les Terribles and a fantastic album by Jarvis Humby which should have been released three years ago, but for some reason the label don't want to release it. Graham also produced the new album by the Len Price 3, but the label (same one as Jarvis Humby) didn't like it, so they re-recorded it. Buzz Hagstrom and Dan Elektro are the driving backbone behind Atlanta Georgia's magnificent The Woggles. They have been joined by Johnny Barker on Bass for the last album and tour. Johnny has been in the Daggermen and Buff Medways. DISCOGRAPHY: "Get off my track", b/w "The man who came back" (7" vinyl single) Les Disques Volfoni (2007).

NME review 25/07/07 of "Get off my track" While Billy Childish has long been acknowledged as a pioneer of analogue ingenuity, fellow Medway trailblazer Graham Day - formerly of garage gods The Prisoners - remains criminally off the cultural radar. The first release by his new band The Gaolers, "Get off my Track" is so freakbeat crazed it will have Russell Brand and his child-scaring hair running back to Hogwarts, and all is delivered with a paint-stripping intensity which makes The White Stripes sound like The Feeling. Someone get this man out of the Cult Hero clink and in the charts fast. Legends have been made of less UNCUT review "Triple Distilled" 4-stars Billy Childish is evidently not the only man of Kent who tends the garage rock blooming in England's garden. Graham Day, founder member of the Prisoners and Childish associate has formed a terrific transatlantic partnership with Dan Elektro (from Georgia's the Woggles). These 13 lean mean combustible slices of irrefutable trash tackle timeless topics - self-assertion, chasing girls and drinking whiskey. Crossing new sonic frontiers may not be a priority but with a result this invigorating who really cares?
