Early History:
Alchemists of the New Psychpop, Skeleton Staff formed around the slightly unhealthy axis of Stanton and Godfrey, who have been friends since childhood: going to the same school, and forming a metal band called 'The Dead Set' in their early teens...
After disagreements about who was the singer/frontman, Godfrey left to join 'Panzer Division' fronted by Nyfty Colditz, a proseletysing underground guru harbinger of a new youth consciousness. This line up of 'Panzer Division' had several underground hits including 'Love Will Tear Up The Charts - Again', but Nyftys' continual experimentation with hallucinogenic pharmaceuticals eventually rattled his brain and made his behaviour at first erratic, then psychotic, then he became a real estate agent. The band was then joined by Stanton at Godfreys request, at first to bolster the flailing line up, then to replace the zombified singer. Arguments still remained as to who was the lead man...
Many felt 'Panzer Division' would disappear from the hearts and minds of the public with the departure of Nyfty, but his passing, though sad for the music industry was a great boon to the property market community. He now remains merely a footnote in the glorious rise and rise of the until now, internationally overlooked funsters - Skeleton Staff.
Hey Stanton yeahhh it was good to catch up on your adventures !! And also to check out some of your commentaries. It's a little like an evangelist's guide to zen on your message board. Peace and many good things Ben
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
This is the « makinf off » of our last recording session at theSound Suite Studio, with Treje Refsnes.
Take a look on 20 minutes video of this work in progress, growing step by step during 16 days . Soon will come the mixing and the album « Love, birth and disillusions »will release in January 2010. Thanks to follow us in this project and broadcast it.
Nuevo diseño Myspace... ¡Jamás Habrás visto nada igual!!!!
Hola con vuestro permiso os quiero robar unos segundos de vuestro tiempo, pues me complace presentar la nueva imagen del grupo valenciano Masc - valencia.
Dos sesiones de Fotos y un "mes" de desarrollo en su MYSPACE han sido necesitado para alcanzar la imagen que buscábamos para un grupo de chavales noveles como lo son masc. Si porque sus edades comprenden desde los 9 añitos de Sergí hasta los 11 años de Marco. Son un ejemplo para todos, para niños de su edad y para muchos padres... ¡que se dejen ya de consolas!
Os invito a que visitéis su espacio, porque nunca antes habréis visto nada igual.
Si alguno os gusta mis trabajos tanto de diseño como fotógrafo, recordar, que hasta final de año, todas las reservas para la realización de myspace por solo 150€ ¡no perdáis esta oportunidad!
Sesiones fotos en fin de semana, mañana o tarde valencia y alrededores. 130€ "retoque digital incluido".
Cubrimos tu concierto por solo 70€ valencia y alrededores. "retoque digital incluido" Para otras comunidades consultar.

You liked my music in the past so I thought i'd let you know that I've uploaded four brand new songs from my new album "Playing With Fire" onto myspace.
Wow, sounds like you had an amazing trip! Like from a movie...
I hope you're good lady's ancle is feeling better? That's a real achievement walking the half trip with a broken ancle!
Haha well you will have to just ignore them, you know how hospital staff are like. ;)
Nothing new here I think, well... I've actually been hypnotised! So that's something new. Yesterday I was at a concert in a church whatching my chiropracter performe in a choire. It's not a professional choire but they sang pretty good anyway. They sang mostly modern songs actually...
It is a pleasure Oh mighty Stanton! I am going to endeavour to make you the superstars you so richly deserve here in the UK ! Can you make me big downunder? HA!
