About Me

'The deepness of Tom Waits vies with the lightweight fluff of Evan Dando
- an eclectic art that gives meaningless arse a very wide berth.'

~ CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BIOGRAPHY ~

After seven long years in the jungle a precocious child prodigy...spawn of notorious talents...
a cunning ability to change colours...addictions, malpractice ...evacuated, ostracized and left stranded...general suffering etc.
Supported them, them and THEM at that place THERE...association begets association...
a perfect opportunity for name-dropping...place fitting slang here,'_ _ _'.

OR...


Was a cold prostitute turning warm tricks for rent...shoveled coal...dug deep dark ditches in the crisp white snow...kicked out of the navy...recovering bisexual gypsy... only a part-time christian.

OR...


A catatonic alcoholic mountain climbing guitarist...No, really!
Committed in LA...squatted in Paris...busked in Tokyo...used a can-opener and a ball-point pen to escape...intense fear of flying, spent six months in a leaky boat...bribed an official, forged a passport, grew a beard...so much part of the scene it hurts...rung by rung, lied a path up the ladder...
...a timeless tale of hardened endurance.

You rang, you called

New songs and video to boot!

We started recording new material with Ed from Gizzard studios. He's the man responsible for the old school Sun recordings sparkle on Holly Gollightly's albums. It's all reel to reel live performances...
