2001,a spring day,the unloved body of crazy rachel left to die in the shadows.crawling from the wreckage the baby bacame the bastard,he couldn't and wouldn't let go.sir barrington couldn't come out to play,the bastard turned to the reverend,a member of the tribe from before insanity;the reverend said yes! trigger pulled the trigger on himself;then a soul brother from beyond sanity,the alien,landed,gibson in hand:citizen x.
the curse starts to flex her influence,a song title,a number,thats all,haunted and pursued by a number,everywhere,to the point of paranoia.relationships wilt,twist,die.homelessness,depression,madness.matthew come,matthew go.injury,gig after gig after gig cancelled,pulled from under their feet,and always where you looked,that number.
the grip of madam charlie,the distortion of reality;still writing,still together,songs of mourning,their dirge.lo-fi post-punk rock n roll,but there,in the shadows,her.1919.
completed finished albums,over a year's work,lost,crashed in the belly of computers,no back up,lost to the void,never to return.must start again,from zero.plan one,no go,death of the machine,been with them for so long,mourn the machine.new dawn,from the beginning.
joy? no she wasn't,twisting their reality,straining their solidarity.
finally,late 2006,a finished album,a finished e.p. lives calming? gigs,gigging,positive reactions,hitting their stride,the three headed beast,for the love of their children,as one,forward,but still;that curse,reaching out from the shadows of their reality into their south london wasteland.then from the mists,answering the call to prayer;castlemaine,the three headed beast,now becomes four.pursed but never defeated.
until the end
