The Mock Turtles are an English indie rock band, formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, in 1985, who enjoyed some success in the early 1990s.
Originally a b-side to "Lay Me Down", the band's new record label, Siren, re-issued it with additional guitar work,[3] and "Can You Dig It?"
[5] In March 1991, the British music magazine NME reported that the band were appearing at the 'Great Indie Festival – A Midsummer's Day Dream' at Milton Keynes Bowl in June that year.
Also on the bill were 808 State, Gary Clail, Shades of Rhythm, The Shamen, Paris Angels plus Flowered Up.
[6] The Mock Turtles, however, were unable to follow up the early success and were dropped by their label, three members briefly joining up as Ugli in the mid-1990s,[3] remaining in limbo until Vodafone used "Can You Dig It?"
