The Adulterers are a bit of an enigma. No one really knows if they truly exist. Though there are many eyewitness accounts, mostly stemming from the greater Charlotte area, there is little hard scientific evidence that The Adulterers are a real animal. We hope to present on this site, a balenced debate over the few clues which we have to study. Take the sound recordings for instance. The bulk of which come from a rare field-recording taken from the remote back parking-lot of Common Market. They seem to represent a strange, unclassified beast trying to communicate with it's would-be captors. It makes strummy sounds, it makes pained vocalizations, it even seems to mash the keys of a percussive/melodic/electronic thing at moments. But is it what it seems? The eyewitnesses claim that it had two heads, a number of limbs, and lacked any sort of rudimentary fashion sense.
Could these witnesses simply be lying? Could the sounds heard here simply be bird-calls and the echoes of a nearby highway? This is what detractors of the "The Adulterers" mystery claim.
And what of the photographic evidence? Do the pictures included here represent an actual thing? Some say no. Some say they're merely actors in a "band -suit". We will let you examine all of this for yourself, and draw your own conclusions. Feel free to leave a comment of your thoughts on the matter, once you have become aquainted with the "evidence".

Glad you are liking the videos! Yes O'Hara is a beautiful singer. Isn't she the sister of the actress Catherine O'Hara? She does have Piaf influence definitely and I have always enjoyed her more folk-country twang as well!
The cartoon shopkeeper opened a drawer of dried-but-live gummy frog larvae; big brown dried-marshmallow pill shaped millipedes. I rebelled against the shopkeeper and danced around with the other workers in the back of the store across the hall from where I lived when I was twelve.
While wearing regulation safety goggles, I sat cross legged today at the library deliberating on how to make a train go straight between two cliffs while the backyard swing sways back and forth. If the train has to go UP a hill the tracks should have matching teeth. The goggles are using my nose as a reminder that it "ain't all rosey," and that is the extent of the disguise that they gave me.
Apart from being one of those comments you rightfully hate with all your divine powers this also happens to be...well, my stupid attempt to leave a trace in your frontal lobe that'll last more than 10 seconds. I don't believe it'll work. Then again, I believe in unbelievable things.
The album. Download it. Either on iTunes or for free. Let it breathe on your playlist for a while. It will grace your chips, wires, ears. It'll make your aura shine. Then again, maybe you don't like presents. Which is perfectly fine.
