About Me

The heir to the KY Jelly fortune, Charles Latham blew his inheritence on a massive underground bunker, which he stocked with low-grade instruments, recording equipment, liquor and ready-meals. Since it was completed he has released an album a year, most of which have disappeared into obscurity.
