Original song about a Southern Illinois river town. It's mellowed with age.

Dandy Lion are   
•	Mad Mo Mosley rhythm guitar and lead triangle ( originally from Satan’s lounge Band)
•	Johnny Malkav ( originally from Growth)
•	General Beavis Rimmer lead guitar ( originally from FCK That)
•	The Rev Jebus Crusty spiritual guru and drugs administrator    
Dandy Lion can best be described as Hank Marvin dipped in a vat of acid. The band was created from the dying embers of Satan’s lounge Band a 1920s trad jazz band, Growth a late 80s grunge band and FCK That a tribute band for Take That. During the early 90s the band became very politically inactive with the apathy movement. This led to a lot of friction within the band as Mosley’s many multiple personalities formed artists against apathy and also thought about forming the apathy party but due to a lack of interest from the rest of his personalities he couldn’t be bothered.
During this period they also discovered spiritually through Couch King Potato who would later become The Reverend Jebus Crusty thus a new form of Christianity was formed Couchism with the Rev Crusty as its guru.   This happened whilst watching an episode of Songs of Praise and being unable to find the remote. This led to the band becoming a born again Christian band. Pope Benedict XVI once claimed that “This is the most excrement band that I have ever seen in Christendom with the potential to be a lot worse!” 

The band are currently wanted by the CIA and MI6 for left wing tendencies and admitting to being fans of Status Que. They now reside in the independent state of Inner Hash mere a small enclave on the edges of Dartmoor National Park and are currently engaged with counter insurgency with   the Talibanies headed by Mad Muller Mosley and the KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). A Northern Irish para military group headed by Big Mac McDonald and a leprechaun called Semtex. Yet again this friction has been instigated by Mosley’s multiple personalities. Rev Crusty has managed an uneasy cease fire between both fractions but as yet both sides refuse to decommission their vast arsenal of water pistols and flower bombs. Both have agreed to cease engaging in biological warfare decommissioning their obnoxious effluvia and flatulence in the BIO hazard removal unit (the WC).     
Moving on to more positive things. The bands influences are truly cosmopolitan inspired by Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Joseph Stalin, Gerry Adams, Reverent Ian Paisley and Simon Cowell. Mainly Simon Cowell. Pope Benedict XVI has stated “This band is an example to all Christians embracing all faiths and ideologies. These guys are going to be bigger than John Lennon”.  

All songs are dedicated to the memories of the inane, mundane, has-beens, wannabes of the Voice, XFactor and Britain’s got talentless. Sweet Jesus, mother of God, remote control remove your souls. Amen!

All songs are written by Mosley and Malkav including covers. Which Mosley intends in sue all artists for plagiarism.

A finale word from the Reverant Jebus Crusty “Easter is a very special time for all Christians giving us all a sense of wellbeing thinking of some poor bastard nailed to a cross and eating lots of Easter eggs.  Happy Easter folks.”       

I hope you enjoy their music and even if you don’t they couldn’t give a folk!

Muchas gracias a todos los que escuchan y comentan mis canciones. No tengáis la menor duda de que les devolveré el favor.

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
