...the same certain quality of agelessness that comes from a group of extremely talented musicians who found alcoholism early in life.... ...Warren Jackson Hearne and the Merrie Murdre of Gloomadeers are hands-down the best conduit for gothic faerietales this side of Mars... ...The show started off with Mike in a full-faced mask belting out a long “poem” that would have made Lenny Bruce blush... ...fun and merrymaking was what he (Warren) and his gloomadeers were carrying onto the stage... ...Personally, I will never be the same after that show. Thanks for the haunting, mental imagery guys... -Various Press

Lyrics
The Clove Queen You tap your black clove on the back of your pack Your fingers find your lips and the lighter you crack Your mouth puffs sweet cinnamon lung clouds of gloom These are the times that I forget how to touch you When someone around us smokes, so do you Like that old man in the corner just lit a match off his boot You stare out the window as night turns to day Well, stare my twenties film star and puff away For I’ll be here with you still when you turn to ash And I’ll protect you from winds that come bustling through When your eyes barely full of life get deader still I’ll still be sitting across from you My lovely is coughing, she’s out to bomb Vietnam She wipes with her napkin away her blood splattered palms Looking sheepish, her face climbs into a fair crease Her lips have left trails on the filter, blackened cerise Absinthe lined stomachs and crystallized lungs A good combination for those to die young But you my pretty achromatically coated thing I’m afraid that you are dieing right here in front of me
