Ken Dead (And The Dodgymen)

About Me

"...under the Ken Dead name I wrote and performed a 'song' called "Door Chime". I basically sampled a 'Ding Dong!' sound on my pedal board and then kept sampling it in different keys, while my alleged singer said things along the lines of: 'The door is ajar... The lights are on... Your handbrake is set... Please buckle your seatbelt... Your lights are on...' - Plain, simple, caustic.""In my dream last night I met Ken in New York and after using his office xerox we went to the Lamb and Chop (Cheers type) bar to drink Buds and entertain the many drinkers with British accent silliness. Ken did some welding and then gathered up all the green food on the bar, jumped over the counter and camouflaged himself as a fennel salad. Quality entertainment. Ken needs a website."
