intro

Appealing indie pop on new single from Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee, the side project of ex-Hefner vocalist Darren Hayman and Dave Tattersall, the frontman with the Wave Pictures

Despite the name, Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee is basically a vehicle for Darren Hayman of Hefner fame and Dave Tattersall, frontman of criminally under-rated indie chancers the Wave Pictures, to peddle their collective wares. Tattersall takes the lead on jaunty pop morsel ‘Fine Young Cannibals’ a song allegedly inspired by the singer spotting Roland Gift (of 80’s pop band The Fine Young Cannibals) on Eurostar. It’s certainly good enough to have sat comfortably on the Wave Pictures excellent current LP. Unfortunately, Darren Hayman’s ‘That’s Why She Left Me’ is decidedly average in comparison, a far cry from the heady heights of Hefner’s Heyday when they regularly troubled the hit parade.
