About Me

Elliot Brown (the Candyland Candy Captain) comes from the deep north of the north island of New Zealand. He is 22 years old and writes and records and performs his own songs with the help of some of his talented friends.Elliot Brown (Candyland Candy Captain) is also a member of the swampcore band The Stomps and plays in various cover bands to fund his alcoholism and nicotine addiction. If you see him in the street give him a cigarette sandwich. He's a regular song-and-dance-man.Name these songs and I'll give you candy num nums. No googling though.Here are some of my favourite song lyrics from old songwriters..."Dear Okie, if you see Arkie, tell 'im Texas got a job for 'm out in Californee""Help me if you wheel (will)""It's all just a dream babe, a vacuum, a scheme babe, that traps you into feeling like this""Today I tried to eat a steak with a big ol' table spoon""get my a pint of booze and a John B. Stetson hat""Incidentally I've got my spies on you""Good authors too who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose""comb your hair and paint and powder"
