Sounds Like	Paff! there's a pert quirk. It sounds like we made it all up on the spot. It sounds like it's a little rough around the edges, in the middle and vomiting rainbows. Later that same year it sounds like that same curio got scrubbed up and put on the mantle for your aunt to admire. It sounds like it came from the basement or garage and two bull terriers are run amok. Like afterthoughts adrift on the waters of the night. Like a great twisted valentine.

About King of Siam

Born in a shed near the SEA (circa 1978), raised at the HOT CLUB (circa 1980), burnt out in chair-land, now burnt again just above low water in Sky's basement. On a good night KING OF SIAM was IMPROVised music and lyrics, and through an INSCRUTABLE HIGH WIRE refinement process would occasionally perform them with accidental spontaneity intact. Harrowing near train wrecks! Remarkable heart stopping Keatonesque recoveries!

An earlier 1980 incarnation featured Bruce Glider on SG guitar, Dave Frazee on Drums and nose flute with guest superstar appearances by Gyspy the Moor, Marnie Greenholz and the Puppets from Hell, and Charles Cohen on the Buchla Synthesizer.

Despite a dearth of commercial KING OF SIAM activities these archival samples from the deeps of the ineffable Royal Odoon vaults are available as FREE DOWNLOADS.

In the mid 80s, they began to play (smelly) (hot dogs) to throngs of (fatty bumbalatty) (jock straps). It was only a matter of (underpants) before they would become (ickypants).

AgentA	Oct 28 2006 4:08 PM "Halloween is meant to be scary, right? Year after year we dust off the old silly 1950s and 1960s novelty records. While they are fun, they not at all frightening. Oddio Overplay put the challenge to musical artists the world over to create Halloween music that is "frightening, damaging and disturbing." No "Monster Mash," instead creepy soundtracks to a fiendish Halloween. They succeeded with CALLING ALL FIENDS! Some of these pieces will creep you right out of your skin." - Oddio Katya Kudos to Oddio Katya for coordinating this. Definitely a variety of soundscapes and tunes that are one step beyond!
