The following all deserve a special mention for their major contributions to the Diskordian sound:
Andy Fenwick
Long-standing lead guitarist and founding member, Andy left Diskordian in December 2006, following a few years of 'commuting' down from Nuneaton for gigs & rehearsals.
He has played a major role in the band's sound, writing & playing the vast majority of the guitar solos & riffs you'll hear on all 3 of our albums.
Amongst Andy's songwriting credits are: Find You & One Decree from Despite Popular Demand as well as lyrics for Lucky Day, Fade To... & Ship In a Bottle. Andy's also responsible for Diskordian's only ever music video: My Fire, and the amazing remix of Angry Song.
Andy maintained this website up until the end of 2006.
| Nic Rutherford
Nic was another founder member, playing bass with Diskordian from 1998 to 2004.
His distinctive bass riffs underpin the Diskordian sound on our first 2 albums: Sincerity and Tin Soldier. In fact, Nic was responsible for the title of our first album, following a conversation with a stranger in Luton, back in 1999 (If you don't know the story, don't ask!).
He also played trumpet on the recording of Lucky Day and will be remembered for his amazing labcoat - not to mention the rainstick!!
Nic's songwriting credits include: lyrics for Stranger & Tomorrow & the cool bassline on My Fire. |
Simon Gutteridge
Simon was Diskordian's frontman from 1998 to 2001. He joined the band a couple of months after we first started, after sitting in on some rehearsals. We soon realised that we needed a lead vocalist & as Simon could sing he got roped in.
Turned out he was a pretty good at it and provided Diskordian with some of their more memorable early songs, including: Spider, My World Now & Forsaken Angel.
Despite not actually performing on our 2nd album (Tin Soldier),
Simon still contributed by penning two of our most popular songs: Laughing & My Fire.
Simon provided much comedy during his time with the band and was responsible for all of the following phrases: "Big Gay Bears", "Plimsoles & a Paper Hat", "Owl in the Microwave" & "Brachnophobiaaaa".
| David Cupit
David was another founder band member, joining Diskordian in 1998. He played rhythm guitar with the band for a relatively short time, leaving in 2000, but he features on our first album, Sincerity.
Dave wrote the music to our first acoustic song: See Me Here.
