Dearest ladies, gentlemen, and furry denizens of all genetic denominations...
The following are the tenderly cherished details of our upcoming grand CD launches for the Spooky Men's Chorale's new CD, Stop Scratching It: these will be magnificent events, adorned by the usual phalanx of statuesque bearded gentlemen in full glory, bristling with purely unintentional epic grandeur, and quite intentionally replicating many of the most sonorous and rumbling of sounds as heard on the aforementioned morsel. The Spooky Men arrive blushing with the kind of ruddy glory that accompanies a triumphant tour of the United Kingdom, and featuring some delicate morsels of female aural titillation which will set us off just nicely, like pearls with swine.
These will be very excellent events.
The Spooky Men are filled with some kind of phantasmagoric emotion to announce that their NEW CD, "Stop Scratching It" is finished!
"Stop Scratching It": A richer, darker, more complex, and some would say, smellier concoction than the first cd, "Stop Scratching It" explores an ever widening world of spooky antecedents, including the modern man as glorious mythical hero tripping over lego first thing in the morning, a young man's tender empathy with a lightpole, the perils of leaving your nurse whilst at the zoo, the howling glory of marching with 80,000 visigoths across the tundra, and the fact that our brains are like sieves.....this album involved the death of no mastodons, but the spooky men will never be the same again....
"Stop Scratching It" is now available for sale as a special pre-release from the Spooky Men's website along with our original CD "Tooled Up".

Genial buffoonery and immaculate, testosterone drenched vocals define the Spooky Men's Chorale, a ruthless bunch of larrikins based in the Blue Mountains of Australia, and led by Stephen Taberner, double bassist/songwriter in another life.
Their stated ambition is to make women weep, small children quail, and insurance salesmen vaguely aware that somewhere, there is a whole world they've never experienced.
With a sound as warm and grainy as a slab of teak, the Spooky Men give equally loving attention to ancient Georgian table songs, tawdry anthems like Don't Stand Between a Man and his Tool, and the odd ballad of terrifying beauty.
The repertoire is largely inspired by the pointless grandeur of everyday maleness, in the shower, in the shed and after breakfast. Stage presence is imposing, black and foolishly statuesque, with a cunning taste in hats. Their studied deadpan is no act: like most blokes, they've only got the faintest idea of what's going on...
Hi Spooky Men, loved your shows at Ironfest. We will be back in the Blue Mountains to play at the Clarendon on Sunday 2nd August. Come along and check out some crazy gypsy brass tunes.

Just wanted to pass through and wish you a safe and joyous Christmas, may God keep you and bless you! Proverbs 22:9 " A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
