I will be lurking in the darkness at Dub Malarkey, eating mushrooms and clapping politely for the poets...

Arch Stanton, right next to the grave marked 'Unknown.' Real Hip-Hop, proper Jungle and if we say R%B we mean Rhythm and Blues - not black pop music.
Why this name?
Arch Stanton, right next to the grave marked 'Unknown.'
Do you play live?
'The Alma' in Chapel Market in London has a quality Kareoke night where gangsters 70 yers old will throw pint glasses at you if you sing Frank Sinatra before they do.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's a great equaliser. People with no cash or record label to promote their music can reach the world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, I want money and recognition. I've been poor for ages.
Band History:
I've been wandering the Underworld for centuries but I found a home when I disvered The Highjinks and Capers Society and they've helped me find a voice to communicate with the living.
Your influences?
Enio Moricone, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Sizzla, Bob Marley, Capleton, anton, Frank Sinatra, The Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Ras Kass, 2Pac, Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Onyx, Kurupt, NWA,
Favorite spot?
London, California in the 1800s, Keele when the Templar Knights were there, France in the early 1900s and the Circle Community Centre.
Equipment used:
Acid. The computer programme AND the psychedelic.
Anything else...?
"Unfortunately, in the world we live in, I can do 10 baby I love you-and he don’t love you like I do-and I’ma buy you a Bentley records and the bi***es are gonna love that. And that’s corny. Or I can do 10 I’m hard-I sell crack-and I kill niggas all the time records, and the label’s gonna roll with that and the thugs are gonna love it. And then when I take my shirt off and show my bullet wounds the bi***es gonna love that too. People in the industry and the streets are just as corny as the backpackers. You gotta figure out which way you wanna go. Do I wanna sell to these stupid bi***es and these corny ass industry niggas, and the street niggas that don’t know nothing – 1+1 – or do I want to sell to these college white kids and still breakdancing, graffiti writing cats who think if I wear any kind of jewelry I’m selling out. So they’re happy when I’m broke and these other people are happy when I’m completely on some superficial bullshit, or some fake-ass love shit. What’s wrong with me being me? I got both sides tugging at me. And I have to ask, How come I can’t just be me, which is probably a little bit of both. When the f*** wasn’t that cool?" Ras Kass
