About Me


Hey guys!Hello there, Hope everyone is well. We finished some recording last week in Glasgow and for your information - it is sounding GREAT! Still got so much to do. We've also been reahearsing new material for the up an coming French tour - its a really exciting time for us just now. Dante did an interview last week for CNN in America which went really well. We're desperate to get over there and play.This Great Scot Awards are being held in Glasgow at the weekend and we've been invited to attend. Its really nice to be asked to an event that is so worth while. The awards honour people in Scotland who have done extraordinary things, as well as Scottish sportsmen, entertainers, politicians, actors...etc. looking forward to it.Well thats all for now - i'll let you know how this week progresses.LM x
EL PRES.
BRITAINS SECRET REVOLUTION - According to Mark Millar LETS TALK ABOUT PHYSICS: Solar flares occur in eleven-year cycles. This sunspot activity has been linked to everything from schizophrenia to migraine headaches, but nobody wants to talk about the music. This phenomenon coincides with a periodic revolution in global consciousness and, every eleven years, the old is replaced by the new. NOW PAY ATTENTION: In 1955 there was Rock and Roll. In 1966 there was Psychedelia. In 1977 there was Punk In 1988 there was Acid House and in 1999 there was EL PRESIDENTE THE SECRET REVOLUTION: Brit-pop was safe. A world of floppy-haired, middle-class schoolboys with recording contracts and working-class millionaires pacified by B-list starlets bought, brainwashed and trained by the highest echelons of MI5. Their endless retreads of their fathers vinyl collections had created a cosy consensus in the British music scene as the country waited for the next big thing. Deep in their hearts, the public hoped for something new that would turn things on their head again. But nothing came. There was a vacuum on every stage in every city in the United Kingdom as El Presidente was being patched up in his mothers East End bolthole. Only days before he held a gun to the Monarch, who was forced to read his personal music manifesto. For forty-eight hours, Britain had become a glorious Republic and El Presidente was both lead-singer and architect of this secret revolution. His manifesto, to this day, is shrouded in mystery and only four band members remain of the six hundred and sixty six believers who helped him stage the coup in that unforgettable summer of 1999. WHO IS EL PRESIDENTE? He has no passport, no fingerprints and no record of a birth certificate exists in any known country and yet he has been on the FBIs Most Wanted list for close to a decade now. Counter-terrorism officers have described him as the most dangerous musician in the world and the lyrics to his music have been banned in forty-seven countries, including Lithuania and Mexico. Airport security agents have been ordered to shoot El Presidente or any member of his Shadow Government on sight if they are seen trying to leave or enter the country. He refuses to recognise The Monarchy, the Prime Minister or the established British Parliament. Only he and his shadow team, he insists, are fit to run this country and this first single is his first step to reclaiming the office he held for those two short days. HIS SHADOW GOVERNMENT: El Presidente will only allow those he trusts implicitly to get close to him. There are only four surviving members of his original band of followers, and their backgrounds range from minor overseas royalty to the world of bare-knuckle boxing and cage-fights. No information will be given on any of these people as their families are known and already under the scrutiny of Tom Ridge and the US Department of Homeland Security. YOU NEED HIM NOW MORE THAN EVER: Thats why hes back. There is no ego here. No bid for the pathetic baubles and trappings of pop success. The world was waiting to be rescued in 1999, but the forces of the establishment conspired to prevent the country from finding this new voice. They killed his friends, hushed up everything he had ever accomplished and left him for dead in that Palace Coup. But wounds heal, his anger has been reborn and hes had enough of an industry dictated by shit Saturday night television. Your one true leader is back, comrades. VIVA EL PRESIDENTE! VIVA EL PRESIDENTE! VIVA EL PRESIDENTE!
