About Me

Listen to the cry of the dinosaur, the analog freak that still has a turntable without being a d.j. Listen to the circle of sound, circle of song from us to you connected by machines. Take the machine and use it as a magical tool Here we conjure, invoke and banish. Our landscape is of: dirty trolls, veiled widows, and jack-o’-lantern children grinning wide while Singing somecreepy nursery rhyme. We are rebellious like punk rock but deeply rooted in blues. MIDNIGHT BLUES; seedy, with a Carneylike sensibility of dilapidated Ferris wheels and x-rated Cowboys roaming 42nd street. TOMBSTONE BLUES; songs pregnant with death, sung for the vampires Who get their ambition at dusk and crawl underground at dawn. INTERGALATIC BLUES: Androgynous Almond eyed scatting cats speaking in tongues. Since rock-n-roll saved our lives time and time again, our Guardian angel is one who plays electric guitar his sonata is one of glitter, grit and spit. His tattered wings Are full of holes from dropping cigarettes on them. He’s manic like a raven high on speedball looking like A winged Keith Richards…NEW YORK BLUES: Still the skyline gets decked out everynight In her evening gown mixing her tears with champagne and the rain. The rains here are full of sorrow. Feathers from her boa float down the Hudson river like little boats of memory. On the otherside of town You can hear the murder ballad of the bones in the East river, the notes drifting down south to some juke joint with Paneling on the walls and a Christmas tree in the corner blinking its eyes directing you down the Southern Highway full of mojo, magic, voodoo and omens. This is our sound ….This is our world. WELCOME TO IT-BRAIN TO BRAIN -VEIN TO VEIN
