Customs. The thin line that protects our borders and regulates the flow of goods into this young country. For many years my brothers and I ran these docks and airports, a law unto ourselves. Whether bringing it in or shipping it out, we could make you rich or we could be your ruin.
It was here that the music was born. Buried under crates of Peruvian coffee beans, sung by rare and endangered parrots smuggled from deep within the Amazon, nestled up against a suspicously mis-shaped boogie board cover bound for Indonesia. We found it in old wooden legs, leopard-skin pill-box hats and hollowed out walking sticks. We sung songs about the sea, merchant songs, songs of crime and punishment that never made it passed quarantine.
We are the Custom Kings, ask anyone.

"Also hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the
music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and
abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands
inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and
lost times from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
