Stolen Bicycles Gang

we are the pretty, petty thieves... la la la la

About Me

We are the Stolen Bicycles Gang. We are founded on ten absurdities and a couple of propositions: 1.) You will love our music 2.) You will love our music soooo much that it will hurrrt! 3.) You will hate us for that. 4.) We transform nouns into verbs, adjectives into pronouns, water into wine etc... 5.) We are not bound by the moon's gravitational pull. 6.) We are high in fiber, contain no trans fats and are organic and genetically modified.7.) This is not a joke. 8.) We are the final solution 9.) We share many physical and emotional traits to Pirates 10.) We feast on the improvisational, devour the organic and paint by numbers 11.) We are of Virgin birth and are without sin 12.) We are the iron curtain that descended upon Europe. 13.) Hemingway is to us what life is to Hemingway. 14.) We fought in the Spanish Civil War with Orwell and we all made love to Florence Nightingale. 15.) (a) The last emperor of Japan was the Stolen Bicycles Gang (b) Japan, please release Jacques from your prisons so we can continue playing music. 16.) The lochness monster exists. 18.) When the fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini reflected upon the Allied powers and the Stolen Bicycles Gang, he stated, Theyre powerful and cool. 19.) The only time we looked at our watches it was the wrong time. 20.) The world is all that is the Stolen Bicycles Gang. 21.) Everything is connected through the Stolen Bicycles Gang 23.) There used to be 25.3 hrs. in a day but when the Stolen Bicycles Gang formed, we unknowingly invented the leap year. 25.) The limits of the world are the limits of the Stolen Bicycles Gang. 26.) Love us and try not to hate us.
