The MANDRAKES

WE HAVE ART IN ORDER NOT TO DIE OF THE TRUTH...

About Me

The manDRAKES- Bask with us on the crunchy, summer rooftop shell; bask with us; all the while drip..drip..dripping down below us, under us, within us.. A ruffled melancholic sanctuary of love, loss and focused 'bewilderment'. In a pale marble movie, slowly syphoned from the Glasgow City streets (love them, they may cradle you some day...). And then somehow the partyline. And so it goes... "If you haven't been to see this band yet then I suggest you do so ASAP. Keep your ears to the ground".
