My Little Gremlins' Figs n Frames

Beyond music, my other passion has always been that of films and comic books. To speak with me today, I have Chris, a self-developed vendor who runs My Little Gremlins' Figs n Frames. Take a look at our chat below. How did you come up with the idea for this? "I love doodling comic characters and Disney stuff, always have, so I've always had a love of animation, arts and crafts and been willing to try new things with it. I started to collect the Marvel Lego Minifigures and ended up with a number of doublers and didn't know what to do with them and then I remembered that a friend of mine had bought me a Back to the Future Lego Minifigure frame for my birthday some time back and I thought, 'What can I do with the figures that I've got?'. I'd been spray painting frames for my nieces bedroom and thought I could try and customise the frames with a theme to go with the figures. The first one that I tried was a galaxy themed frame for Marvel's What If? vers...

Your tracks feature some great guitar riffs, bass lines and harmonies, what is your process for building these songs from the ground up? "Well, it's very organic.  Someone will bring a song sketch or sometimes even a completed song to rehearsals, then we hammer them out as a band.  With everyone's input, they might end up  far and away from the basic songs they begin as.  Other times, we're just finessing quite a complete idea.  Rob P got the bassline for Page Lake Powell walking in the Camarthenshire Fans - b...
