Some months back ButtNuggetCrew.com unearthed a rare recording featuring a blast of various tracks from the almost mythical "Tippin' The Cow" album, following the release of this and the current sober hindsight of some of the original members the popular belief is that the Crew have actually improved since 1997.

The "Tippin'" recording stems from a chance sharing of a "Face off" style taxi following a Radiohead gig in 1997 between Dr. Edgewild, Dr. Leo and Ceb, the three instantly saw common ground for their love of cromulent music. Dr. Edgewild with his punk influence, Dr. Leo with his soul, funk and blaxploitation and Ceb with his place to hang out and basic knowledge of fabricating a functioning mic from a pen and an "Apollo 1" set of earphones. The next few weeks would see the three brain storm bouncing terrible ideas off each other and going with them. Having been inspired by a plate of chicken nuggets Ceb once consumed the BN (Buttnuggets) gained their name.
Shortly after this Dr. Leo attended Ceb's new found Sushi recording studio in Griffith avenue in a bid to record some solid shit, many believe Leo only attended the session as his mates had money and actually wanted to have a social life, the pair were joined some hours later by Dr. Edgewild who was bored of sitting at home and promptly went to sleep in the 'studio'. During his slumber the pair recorded what is arguably the most groundbreaking Irish record in history, it featured cameos from local Dublin legend Gibney Ray who walked in and threw a 2 pence piece at the speaker (as heard in Alcopop a slight return).

At a later stage several tracks (a single track) was recorded featuring the vocal stilling of Hambone and Double B, this track was Wypin' which paved the way for the BN to assault the hip hop world. Toolbox joined the gang soon after putting down chilling vocals on the hit singles "B + Snippy" and "Black Is The Colour". The new additions to BN became known as the BN all stars who went on to record various tracks for the upcoming album.
Once all of this was compiled on to one 90 minute tape originally titled "Tippin' The Cow" (although titled "Smells like white spirits" on the physical tape) the world was a BN oyster, the BN embarked on their first world tour of Dublin with the unfavourable title of "Live Aids". The band started the tour in upper Grizzle Avenizzle playing the tape only to themselves, this was met with enthusiasm from themselves, they immediately traveled to lower Grizzle Avenizzle where again they played only to themselves and possibly a very young Gapford, still riding the fame high the band headed toward Marino and broke out the fresh new sound and finally they concluded the tour in North Strand, it's safe to say this was a success in their own minds.

Immediately after this the band lost interest in the band, Dr. Edgewild went on to play the Sims for a few years, Dr. Leo went on to pretend to be black and have soul and Ceb went on some kind of heroic drug and alcohol binge.

Contrary to the sticker this was great.

In 2000 the band would return under the revised name BN Crew with the unforgettable Babykill but have the Crew actually improved over the years? History has all but deleted the first album from memory and physical existence and with the only known recording being the ButtNuggetCrew.com unearthed session we asked a group of music professionals and enthusiasts the question, they said "No".
