About Me

Ever evolving London based band, loosely centered around the twisted, acerbic, off-kilter lyrics of Stan Mytkowski, and a rumblin', bitchin' brew of sounds.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/26/2005
Band Website: stanislaw.co.uk/music
Band Members: Past members: STANISLAW MYTKOWSKI - vocals ... DAREN PICKLES - guitarings / bass / sampler ... MICHAEL LEWIS CRABB - guitar wrangler ... CHRIS COFFEY - drummer man ... DUNCAN BROWN - bass / sampler
Influences: Iggy meets Mark E, waves to Bobby, nods hello to Link, Mr Richman, and has a slice of cake with Lou. While Tom waits. Amongst others.
Sounds Like: A rambling, abandoned dog. A borderline schizophrenic in love with the idea of having an idea. Can't quite decide which of its post punk parents to live with after the divorce … the arty dilettante or the no-nonsense man bitch. Likes hanging out after dark, sampling beats and sharing stereo needles with all manner of technologically advanced undesirables.
Record Label: self published
Type of Label: Unsigned
