   About The Idiot

The Idiot play edgy pop music from the shagpile carpet burn and streetlit a-cup of urban living. Strange fixations and bad behaviour breed among synths and guitars, with disco beats and glam riffs framing a solitary figure in the night.

"Art has come to the discotheque and it will never be the same again."

Still no word on that bloody Rock Opera...I don't give advice fer nothing ye know. Pissing in the wind is apparently the lay of the land here, regards our communication. This nonsense aside, come over on the 13-17th, for our arsy little book festival....free wine and cake.
Done?

What feeble excuses didst thou e'er offer me for this lapse in urban orienteering...you damn well better find us this time. Try to be here for the 13-17 August. We are staging an anarchic little festival of our own. Luke and I may be launching our ridiculous works. Talk to the fucker, twist his epicurian arm. And what about your rock-opera sir...

And how are my favourite minstrals. Wandering yet? I think you should devise some form of rock opera for your work. Complete with sparkly costume, of course. I'D pay to see that.

Something like that yes...we are endeavouring to make contact wih trendy young people, save that we don't know any and can't really be arsed. Your help is appreciated though..and nice to know you're alive...great pity I missed your gig..why are the few good friends I have so widely scattered..not a good outlook for the world, as far as I'm concerned.

Scribble records presents KORMAC - GOOD LORD EP release party

KORMAC (Live) plus Scribble DJ's
Saturday 22nd March
Crawdaddy @ Pogo
Doors 11pm
Photobucket

Scribble Records next release comes from Kormac and is entitled 'Good Lord EP'. After the success of his debut 'Scratch Marchin', he's back with another installment of his trademark Hip-hop & jazz mash-up sound. This EP takes things to the next level with a fusion of production, live players and a barbershop quartet. This release is a true reflection of where Kormac's at with his live performance and where he's headed.
