The Noseflutes were an unorthodox, late-eighties indie band based in Birmingham. They released three EPs and three albums, and received generally favourable reviews from the contemporary music press. Their second album, Zib Zob and His Kib Kob, made The People newspaper's list of The 101 Most Awful Album Titles of All Time. The band was formed in 1980 and both the band and the members went through several names before settling on the Noseflutes (previous names include The Blaggards, the Cream Dervishes, Extroverts in a Vacuum, The Viable Sloths, Pantaloni Brothers, and Shitstormer). After three albums and singles, the band disbanded in 1991.
Peel first heard the band in the mid 80's, when the group released their first releases on Reflex records. Later they joined the Ron Johnson label, whose artists were also played by Peel on his programmes. The band did in total four sessions for his shows.
