Description
Nigel Hunter, known as Danbert Nobacon, is an English musician, the former vocalist and occasional keyboard player in the Leeds based anarchist band Chumbawamba. In February 2011 he was living in Twisp, Washington in the United States with his family and is pursuing a solo career.
Nobacon has long aired his views through his music, producing cassettes in the early 1980s that featured songs exploring his views on anarchism, ecology and personal relationships. Despite being a member of Chumbawamba, the first vinyl release on their own Sky and Trees label was Nobacon's acoustic solo album, a re-recording of his scatological 'eco-concept' work The Unfairy Tale in 1985.
He released two more solo singles, "Bigger Than Jesus" in 1987, an exploration of male sexuality that featured a close up photograph of his own penis as cover artwork, and "Why Are We Still in Ireland?" in 1989, a comment on the Northern Irish Troubles.
He is renowned for his extrovert behaviour in public, as recounted in fellow band member Boff Whalley's autobiography Footnote*, and was notorious for stripping naked at early solo performances.
