About Me

The Lake of Stew began in September 2002, when Pope John Paul II issued a papal bull against the re-establishment of the Magdelene blood-lines. Eight musical warrior-monks were summoned to Mile-End in the holy city of Montreal to defend it’s children against the church of Rome. In their spare time these warrior-monks founded a magical singing congregation and composed many an ode to bodily fluids, animals and food. Currently the Lake of Stew has become disappointed with the limited pursuit of excellence it views as Roman infiltration and has decided to let its light shine in public in order to cast out the usurpers and bring joy to the masses.
