About Me

Created in a deep underground government laboratory that had grown bored with feeding british troops LSD and nerve gas, Iron Jesus quickly escaped into the wild and hid on the island of tenerife where he was raised by a young witch whom he knew only by the name "Maenad". She was hot. Without realising it Iron Jesus transmogrified into a piece of volcanic rock and was thereupon painted in the guise of a garish clown face by a passing Argentinian artist. Trapped in this horror Iron Jesus had no recourse but to read the entire works of Albert Camus in French. This cheered him up enormously and he proceeded to become an international electronica rock star. He currently lives in Whitechapel and is friends with a bucket of sourdough starter and a jar of tsukemono.
