Nasser Bouzida, raised in Harlow, England, spent his formative years in Newbury, Berkshire, where he developed a deep appreciation for Latin music.
In his early twenties, he appeared on the low-budget cable TV show Jenny Powell's Hot where he initially met Trevor Harding.
A quote from their website describes the pair: Bouzida and Harding soon formed an unbreakable bond through their love of the Portsmouth Sea life centre and Roxy Music.
On one particularly choppy entertainment voyage, the duo bumped into Coffin Nails' tattooed psycho dog-man "Mad-Man" Scott Milsom and indie sex-fiend / owner of Europe's thinnest ears; Nick Nichols.
This film featured the UK comedy duo The Mighty Boosh (Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding), who received the Perrier Best Newcomers award at the Edinburgh Festival.
[3] The single received a favorable review from Select magazine, alongside other notable artists like Eminem, Coldplay, and Fat Boy Slim.
To mark its release, the band performed at a Blow Up club event commemorating the opening of the "My Generation" Fashion and Photography Exhibition in Stockholm.
Additionally, they reinterpreted Ingfried Hoffmann's 1960s/70s Euro-cult TV theme "Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt" for an EP released by Germany's Diggler Records.
Nasser Bouzida then toured Spain with a live revue of his spin-off solo album, The Bongolian, and was invited to guest with Woodstock's Country Joe and the Fish and the 1960s British mod soul band The Action.
Full English Beat Breakfast, released in September 2009, represents the band's most ambitious project to date, featuring increased use of synthesizers compared to their previous work.
The band adopts a novel approach to the BBM sound, enhancing their hip hybrid of Latin, jazz, soul, psych rock, and 1960s/'70s drenched R&B with the incorporation of a brass section and guest vocalists.
The album features the single "Aardvark," a jazz dance floor filler that was promptly released after completion of studio mix sessions in April.
Additionally, the song received airplay from Cerys Matthews, Gideon Coe, Tom Ravenscroft, Chris Hawkins, and Huey Morgan on the stations.
