about
The Creams, a neo-psychedelic quartet from Leicester, England, regrouped out of the remnants of Ruth's Refrigerator -- a short-lived side project between Alan Jenkins, guitarist/songwriter formerly of the Deep Freeze Mice and the Chrysanthemums -- and an indie pop group called Po! (not to be confused with either the female singer/songwriter named Poe or the American alt-rockers P'o). Throughout their eight-year career the Creams changed personnel and musical styles so often that keeping track of the group's progress is a head-spinning endeavour, but the core duo of Jenkins and his keyboard-playing wife Robin (who prefers the pseudonym Blodwyn P. Teabag) remained constant, with Jenkins' surreal and often hilarious psych-pop songs their focal point. For their first two albums the group was known, for no particular reason, as Jody and the Creams. On their debut, 1991's A Big Dog.n, the Creams were Jenkins, Teabag, guitarist Ariadne Metal-Cream Pie, drummer Jonathan Lemon (who as Jonathan Staines had played guitar and keyboards in the final incarnation of the Chrysanthemums) and Ruth Miller on vocals. The second Jody and the Creams album, 1992's Lords of the Grommet Canning Factory, consisted of two 20-minute suites and was originally released in a very limited edition (25 copies!), but later reissued in a more normal run with 17 untitled bonus tracks; Miller had returned to Po! by this time and was replaced by Sherree Lawrence, who had been Jenkins' bandmate in the Deep Freeze
