Bill Hicks, the controversial American stand-up comedian, satirist and social critic, "appears" on Fila Brazillia's album
Maim That Tune (1996) and the album is dedicated to Hicks. Their music has made its mark both on small-screen blockbusters (such as
CSI and
Sex and the City) and cult cinema films such as
Dogtown and Z-Boys,
Riding Giants and
Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos, a 2006 documentary about the
New York Cosmos soccer team. One of their better-known songs, ''A Zed and two L's
, appears on Jam'', a black comedy sketch show by British satirist
Chris Morris. Their song "Here Comes Pissy Willy" from the
Power Clown album featured as the theme to the
James Whale Show on
Talk Radio UK in the late 1990s. After releasing their
Retrospective album in 2006, Cobby and McSherry quietly ended their longtime partnership. Currently, McSherry is a lecturer in Sound and Music Production at the
University of Lincoln. Cobby went on in late 2006 to form
Steel Tiger Records with Sim Lister. Over the course of 2007, the label saw various digital releases by
J*S*T*A*R*S (Cobby and Lister), Peacecorps (Cobby and guitarist Rich Arthurs) and by
The Cutler (Cobby and ex-head of
Pork Recordings David "Porky" Brennand). The first formal album by
The Cutler on
Steel Tiger Records was released on 7 July 2008, and the most recent "Everything Is Touching Everything Else" (

UK City of Culture 2017' bid film - 'This City Belongs to Everyone', produced by Nova Studios - on 20 November 2013
Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, was announced as the winning City, and so as
UK City of Culture 2017. After a 16 year hiatus, on 6 March 2020, the band returned with the release of the MMXX EP. In 2023, they appear to have released the Subtle Body album/EP, with two original tracks and two unreleased versions. ==Discography==
