I am Dirk A. Keaton the Archbishop of Twang, resident comedy-rock/"bobcore" singer
-songwriter/maniac. I and my bands (The Last of the Southern Dandies and Sarong Nation) play our our own distinct blend of comedy rock. There's no politics, no one to mock, no punk kids or anybody else being made fun of, just pure, unbridled lunacy. We're the sort of band that will read a magazine article and call it lyrics. At the core of our sound is my immense void of talent and Gonynor's (My sometimes-guitarist) amazingly unfair share of it. While me and Gonynor (Who constitiute Archbishop of Twang and the Last of the Southern Dandies) usually play together, I sometimes hook up with Darren and DeWeet for some improvisational magic and rock 'n' roll renditions of folk songs with Sarong Nation. Listen to our music, it's doubleplusgood.
Sugar Land and Lubbock. Sugar Land blows, hard. Lubbock is the greatest town, ever.

Gonynor-Jimmy Page and more Jimmy Page
I use a Gretsch Electromatic Jet (A superior Les Paul Junior Ripoff), Vox Amps, a Radioshack Highball 7 Mic (On a mic stand constructed of two poles lashed together) and sometimes and inferior Pansonic one, a Jim Dunlop Egg Shaker, a Kent Ukelele, a mini-organ I found at a garrage sale, a Accoutraments Mini-Accordian, Hohner and Lee Oskar Harps, A Hohner Nylon-String, and my raspy voice.
Gonyor and Daren both use identical Ibanez guitars (Cheesy LPJ-lookin' things), tho I got Daren to use an Epi Les Paul for the record (And a conquerer accoutic for live engagments). Gonynor uses Fat-Ass (An oversized Crate P.O.S. that makes him sound like hair metal), Daren uses a really big fender amp. DeWeet uses a Fender Jazz Bass and some sort of Fender Amp (As well as a double bass, a messid up toy drum kit, and some other things).
