The Cthulhu Brothers

About Me

Hideous mutant offspring of the forced mating of King Crimson and Jake Thackeray under a gibbous moon. Famous for a series of open rehearsals in a locked building on private land during the 1980s, attended only by people who happened to be there. The true spirit of MySpace: anybody can do it, even if they shouldn't.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/10/2006
Band Website: www.cthulhubrothers.co.uk
Influences: The Carpenters, The Shadows, Captain Beefheart, The Corries, Art Bears, Richard Thompson. An entire genre of songs should have flowed from 'Dedicated to you but you weren't listening' by the Soft Machine; whether or not this genre exists we aspire to it. Some of the time.
Record Label: Unsigned
