Formed on October 19th 1998 by ex-Carter USM guitarist Les Carter (aka Fruitbat).

Abdoujaparov's musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 punk rock. The music is raucous, fast and sometimes a bit country. The lyrics are rude, tender, funny and sometimes just plain bad.

So far four EPs, a single and an album have been released on Spinach Records. A compilation CD featuring tracks from the first 3 EPc was released by Pop Gun in Australia. The band has toured the UK, Germany, Australia and America.

Abdoujaparov have recently released their NEW EP "Well Oiled" including classic tracks as 'Its About The Oil George', The anthemic 'Beer Scooter' the title track of Abdoujaparovs new album 'Air Odeon Disco Pub', 'Innes' and 'Ever Fallen In Love'

Abdou who???

Djamolidin Abdoujaparov / The band Abdoujaparov is named after a professional cyclist from Uzbekistan, who was famous for being extremely competitive in sprinting. In fact he was so determined that he would often knock other riders off their bikes with his unusual and erratic riding style. My favourite incident was when he run over a policeman who was trying to take photos at the Tour De France. He was banned from cycling two years ago for drugs offences.
