About Me



ROGER SIMIAN and CAMERON JACK
STARK PALACE SONGS AVAILABLE
ON SHARK BATTER RECORDS'
AMAZON.COM PAGE

*THE STARK PALACE* are ex-psychiatric nurse, Roger Simian ( Dawn Of The Replicants ) and grave-digging paint-splasher, Cameron Jack, in cordial sonorous collaboration with various feel-good type alien individuals. They live in the Scottish Borders and greedily consume the produce of New York Punk, decadent Glam, Prog-era outsider Kevin Ayers, nasty-Funk screamer Betty Davis, dirty French hipster Serge Gainsbourg, plus a sackload of whackjob experimentalists including Beefheart, Eno, Wire and TV On The Radio.
