Sally (The Drunk Llama Song)

A warmup we liked so much we had to keep it. It combines some legit Twang from Gonynor and my love of balladry.

The Bird Song

A punk-rock rendition of a song I found in the 1956 girl scout pocket songbook. We don't do punk, normally, but we might have a future in it, since a friend of mine's girlfriend confused us for the white stripes.
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.

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).
