The Ventriloquist’s Hand

About Me

The Ventriloquist's Hand is a sort of "one man band" ...the one man being me, Philip Morey. At the root of it all, i like music. i like slayer, abba, the beegees, jurassic 5, mr bungle, basement jaxx, charlie parker.... the only problem with this is that of course not everybody likes ALL those styles of muisic, so rather than try and hurl a million different styles of music at people i've split it up into 5 categories/bands for people to pick and choose fom: * Puppet Fight * Limehouse * Pink Tang * Dustin Eye * and The Ventriloquist's Hand all under the mantle of "Mindbait Music" not a record label as such, just my own little sandpit to dig and bury all my different musical ideas: which brings us to THE VENTRILOQUIST'S HAND, basically anything that doesn't seem to fit into the other 3 bands ends up here, some of it is wierd and wonderful, some of it is just little experiments that didn't sit right anywhere else, still if you have a slightly skewed tasted in music you might enjoy it...
