In the Wizard of Oz (spoiler alert) the great Wizard turns out to be little old guy manipulating things from behind a curtain. In his account of Jesus, called a "gospel" (good news) Mark dares to draw back the curtain to reveal behind the scenes of Jesus' ministry. Is this, like the Wizard of Oz, a disappointment? Join Steve to find out...

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow - Percussion ensemble

This is the tale of a mermaid, a lion, and an all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet—or, as we like to call it, a modern tragedy of questionable priorities.

💃 She’s got a tail and no regrets.
🦁 He’s got no courage but an insatiable appetite.
🦐 And the shrimp? Well… they’re not here by choice.

Between moral dilemmas and seafood cravings, the Lion wrestles with his forgotten fate, the Mermaid follows the scent of shrimp cocktail, and the elderly British ladies spectate approvingly as civilization collapses around a buffet table.

Expect:
✔️ Dramatic declarations of cowardice
✔️ Unapologetic seafood devotion
✔️ Children terrorizing the emotionally vulnerable
✔️ A Lion singing about shrimp like it’s a life mission

Will they find purpose?
Will the buffet ever run out?
Is courage overrated when there's shrimp cocktail?

🎶 "For sure, I follow shrimps…"

Stream now. Before the crab finds out. 🦀🔥

It's Shrimps I Follow

What happens after the book ends?

The Cowardly Lion became king of the forest, but was he ever truly free? A mermaid counts down her 300 years—188 in, 112 to go. But the Lion? Nobody ever told him how long his sentence is.

Was courage ever real? Or was it just a story others told him until he believed it himself?

🔥 A modern reimagining—rich electronic textures, driving rhythm, and a melody that feels like memory slipping through time. A song about belief, fate, and the quiet weight of expectations that never let go.

🎧 Listen. Maybe you’ll hear the echoes of what was never written.

The Tunes of Oz

SUB_1_Tin_mans_lament

American musician in Switzerland from New Jersey.

I don’t write songs in the traditional sense. I prioritize sound and theme over grammar or logical narrative. I often look between the moments we usually skip — the pauses, the loops, the unfinished thoughts.

It’s immersive, like film music — but you have to imagine the film.

I listen to myself. I write down what the song says.
Sometimes it says:
Can. Can’t. Fight. Bite.
Sometimes it says:
Text the moon, please.

You’re not supposed to “understand” it.
But you’re welcome to feel what it means.

This style — I sometimes refer to it as Beat Listened.

Vampire Werewolf is the dark fusion of husband-wife duo Devil Boy (Lil Pac) and Asiatic Ivy—a raw blend of rap disses, sadcore truths, and experimental underground sound straight from the edge. Our music feels like the ghosts of vintage internet rappers whose best tracks got buried by label politics or vanished in the algorithm... but we’re not going anywhere. We're still here, still howling, still biting.

Raised in dangerous hoods, both Devil Boy and Ivy earned recognition and notoriety young—hailed for their words, not their looks. Critics can call us dumb, but the streets, the pen, and the mic say otherwise.

Devil Boy also runs Dark Lightworker Ra on YouTube, diving into trippy conspiracies and spiritual warzones, and cuts cult-classic fan edits through Nightwing Productions.

This is Vampire Werewolf. Ugly truths. Beautiful pain. Chaos that sticks.
Blood in the ink. Soul in the sound.

P.S It should also be noted that Devil Boy and Asiatic Ivy had quite the success as mere teenagers. Asiatic Ivy was a fanatical radical for the planet among other causes, and helped make things like recycling what they are today. Devil Boy as a student was hailed by the United Nation's, (with a few select other students) for raising money for a number of causes, they raised money for what they wrote about, everything from the war at the time, woman's rights, poverty, children that don't fit in, and building schools in underdeveloped countries. Later on as young as a man can be, he was asked by his pagan friends to join in on a United Nations tellathon of both poetry and music, to help raise money for a Pagan Acceptance Project.
