Our second demo album. This one is a concept album about a gent named Jimmy:

01) Jimmy And The Thunderskanks - A strange boy called Jimmy is born in a drum of black oil and grows up with the single desire to join the biker gang, the Thunderskanks. He makes his way into the gang and rises through the ranks only to find...

2) Quiet As A Mouse - ...that it was all just a dream, and that he is in fact an unloved boy with terrible parents who don't care about him in their rat infested house of misery.

3) Red House Rust - Jimmy decides to ditch his family and their rusty red house and he hits the road seeking adventure.

4) The Wizard's Return - Now that Jimmy is travelling on his own he has the misfortune to encounter one of the 7 Deadly Wizards (of whom we previously sang on our album Rain, Shame and Other Fables) who goes about spreading hate and swindling people into doing his dirty deeds for meagre currency.

5) The Rider - Luckily Jimmy manages to escape the Wizard and makes tracks down a road previously travelled by The Rider. Long ago the Rider avenged the murder of his wife only to be hunted down and hanged on the dusty road upon which Jimmy is travelling.

6) More Wizards - Along the dark and dusty road Jimmy is confronted by more wizards who force him to face and embrace the less desirable aspects of his personality. So begins the downward spiral of Jimmy's unfortunate life.

7) She Gets What She Wants - Here we meet Jimmy's wife. A lady of the night who knows how to use her body to, well, get what she wants! From here, Jimmy's life starts to revolve around meeting her every demand and desire.

8) Jealous Moon - Jimmy is now middle aged and has grown fat off the poverty of others. We now discover that Jimmy is a tall, strange being who cannot talk.

9) Where Am I Going? - Jimmy begins to question his path in life and realises he no longer knows who he is or what it is he wants from life. The song is an expression of our hero's mid-life crisis.

10) Moose - Jimmy's beloved dog and companion, Moose, passes away. The song is Jimmy's lament for Moose's journey to the land beyond.

11) Jimmy The Sailor - Jimmy comes home to find his wife dead. He decides to embark upon an epic journey to avenge her death. His quest does not find any resolves for the passing of his wife, but reveals to him something far more unexpected and sinister. 

12) Cellphone Blues - A lament for Jimmy, and a for us to meditate on the life and times of our tragic hero.

Thank you for listening.

Recorded on my phone and iPad in the parking lot outside my work in Pinetown and in my garden in Drummond using old acoustic instruments that don't really work properly or stay in tune anymore. 

Instruments include a banjoline, a banjolele and two guitars - one steel string, one nylon string. 

Grotesque music for grotesque times.
