About Me

NEWS:
DEAR COMRADES;
WE ARE BACK. After several months of intensive push-up competitions & licking at nicotine patches during the night, Sokratis & his band of hairy men have returned to the mainland to bring you an album worth of new songs & a ten gallon hat full of anecdotes! Make sure your 2008 isn't MWDWG-free; studies have shown that 1-2 servings per month can be an all-cure tonic for chronic pyromania & some joint problems. You'll have goodtimes - make your year a year to vaguely remember!
- Check out Indent's "Artist of the Month" for an interview with Sokratis... http://www.indent.net.au/artists/?id=25
MEN WHO DRIP WITH GERMS ARE SORT OF LIKE WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF NEIL HANNON OF THE DIVINE COMEDY HAD ILLICIT SEX WITH DEAN & GENE WEEN AND THEN HAD A BABY AND THAT BABY DRIPPED WITH GERMS YET AT THE SAME TIME COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
THEY ARE MOUSTACHES MEET UNICYCLES AT SUNSET IN AN ILLEGAL STREET MARKET IN CONSTANTINOPLE. HERE THE HAWKERS HAWK GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES AND OPIUM, CHIMBLEY SWEEPS AND TINY WINDMILLS. THE LANTERNS GROWL LOW AND LONELY ON BLOOD SOAKED STREETS AND THE AUTHORITIES DARE NOT TURN THIS CORNER.
GOOD FOLK DARE NOT COME DOWN TO THESE STREET MARKETS, THEY DARE NOT EVEN IMAGINE THEY EXIST - DARE NOT IMAGINE SCANTILY CLAD WOMEN DANCING ACROSS GREAT TORTOISES, DARE NOT ALLOW THEIR MINDS TO BE CROSSED WITH IMAGES OF SMOKY DEAD MEN SLURPING HASH COFFEE FROM CUPS OF BONE
MEN WHO DRIP WITH GERMS DRIP WITH CHARISMA AND HORROR, DRIP WITH EAR BLOOD OF INNOCENTS AND THE HAIR OF THE WICKED.
MEN WHO DRIP WITH GERMS DRIP WITH JUSTICE. AND GERMS.
-Sir Adam Hadley, certified jewel thief, beat poet & lead expect-orator of Mr. Fibby.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll vomit... it will change your life.
