BEOWULF KINGSLEY: Arphus Schmarphus Horkus Porkus
click to order
THE NEW CD IS HERE!! It's titled Arphus Schmarphus Horkus Porkus, and sounding pretty cool if I do say so myself. It has guests Peter "Madcat" Ruth on Harmonica, Danny Pratt on both Guitar and Harmonica, Mark "Modfather" Boone on Organ, Charlie Murphy on Water Harp (a very beautiful sounding and wierd instrument) and Billy Mack on Drums. I sing and play Bass, Guitar, Accordion, Ukelele, Percussion, Keyboards, Electric Sitar and the ever-popular Amplified Gourd Device. I also do a lot of loop programming, and I produce and record the whole mess. I feel really lucky to have so many talented and helpful friends!! You can click on the link above to get more info, hear more tunes, and even buy it if you like. Check it out!! And check out my other project, The Mobsters Band! It's a great Swing/Blues/RootsRock unit that's really a lot of fun onstage. I'm playing Lead Guitar and Singing, and generally making an idiot of myself up there in front of it all. My other members are John Diamond Alysee on Bass, Bullet Bob Bau on Drums and John "Hitman" Hicks on Guitar as well. I'll post up our gigs on this site, or go to The Mobsters MySpace site, or go to www.themobstersband.com for some offers you can't refuse!
InfluencesThe Beatles, Dr. John, Martin Newell, Mississippi John Hurt, J.S. Bach, Charlie Mingus, Os Mutantes, Hendrix, Jobim, Tom Waits, Ray Brown, They Might Be Giants, John Renbourn, Cream, Oscar Peterson, Malatini & the Mahotella Queens, Jack Casady, Carl Perkins, Carla Bley, James Jamerson, Muddy Waters, Frank Zappa, The Incredible String Band and many many many others...
Sounds LikeDr. John and Zappa wrasslin' Martin Newell and Syd Barrett in a tag team match after getting very very high? I always get in trouble with this one. All those elements and more are there colliding in the upper air, sending sparks into the clouds and making for some spectacular sunsets if I do say so myself. Really, hell, I don't know, give a listen and tell me what YOU think. I'd like that!

   About Beowulf Kingsley
Beowulf Kingsley, AKA The King Of Mars, AKA Dr. Toddzilla, AKA That Irritating guy Upstairs Who Won't Stop Practicing Bass, is actually me...real name Todd Perkins, from Ann Arbor MI. I'll answer to either Todd or Beowulf, depending on who's in the room, or occasionally Rev. Todd or Rev. Beowulf (I sort of accidentally became a Reverend, but that's a long other story)...or to "Hey you! Here's your thousand dollars!!" I really like that one. I live out in a funky old farmhouse on the edge of town with my lovely and talented fiance Cynthia, a jeweler and artist, five cats and a crazy ferret...as well as assorted outdoor fauna like deer, wild turkeys and coyotes. I write, teach, play, record and produce music for a living (well, its sometimes a living! I'm also quite crafty at avoiding my landlord & Big Vito the loan shark) and also because it's the best fun you can have in public without getting arrested. I've been lucky enough to have worked with great groups like the Michael Katon Band, Big Dave And The Ultrasonics, The Blue Front Persuaders and many more, I've had amazing years of touring through Europe, Canada and the U.S., and I'm still having a gas doing it, even though officially I'm older than the dinosaurs in the La Brea Tar Pits. Had the pleasure of opening for bands as diverse as Motorhead, Koko Taylor, Mitch Ryder, John Mayall, Eric Burdon, Blue Oyster Cult, Little Richard, Booker T and the MG's, Lucky Peterson and Golden Earring and lived to tell the tale!! I've got a couple of critically well-received CDs, and I have a new one that I've just released...the fabulous Arphus Schmarphus Horkus Porkus!! I love that name...and I'm pretty happy with the album as well. I do a lot of recording and producing for other musicians, at last count I had 15 CDs I've played on, engineered, produced, or some combination of the three, including recordings of The Ragbirds, Big Dave And The Ultrasonics, Jesse Richards, T.H.E. Modfather, The Motor City Sheiks and The Buzzrats. I'm also playing guitar, singing and holding down frontman duties for the Swing/RootsRock band The Mobsters, and having a great time doing it too. I love playing bass, guitar, accordion, ukulele etc., harmony singing, and talking music, recording, books, philosophy, the answers to and/or the futility of life over a cup of grog with interesting people anytime!

Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes £leTriKa style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Did you check out my 1982 video (it's on my blog)
Vox organ reigns supreme in it.

Hope to see you soon...I'm tired of dancing with myself.
