Simon Charterton - The Higsons - in conversation with David Eastaugh
Founded in 1980 at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, Norfolk, England, The Higsons' first recordingwas on the Norwich - A Fine City compilation album. The Higsons' first single, "I Don't Want to Live with Monkeys", was released in 1981.[1] The band signed to the 2 Tone Records label, along with bands such as The Specials, The Beat and Madness.
The band's blend of high-energy funk and groove brought them some chart success: their most remembered track was "Conspiracy", released in 1982, with the refrain "Who stole my bongos?; Did you steal my bongos?". The band played their last gig in March 1986, disbanding by mutual consent.
