The Snivelling Shits

Giovanni Dadomo (vocals)
Dave Fudger (bass)
Steve Nicol (drums)
Pete Makowski (guitar)

Dadomo, Fudger, Makowski and Nicol were journalists for the (now defunct) British music weekly "Sounds". Dadomo also wrote for "Zig Zag" magazine and managed to fool the NME (a rival magazine to Sounds) into giving their first record the much coveted "single of the week" accolade.
The band played live only a few times (usually billed as "The Snivelling Hits" or just "The Hits") and featured different line-ups to that appearing on their debut record. They also recorded a session for John Peel (BBC Radio 1). They disbanded in 1978.

Giovanni Dadomo died sometime in 1996.
