A search for glamour and love through obsession, addiction, betrayal and stardom.
To my idols fallen:
Elvis, Bolan, Brel, Joe Meek, Thinders, Fury, Johnny Ray, Morrisson, Dietrich, Garland and De Sade.
There is a little bit of each of them on this record.
Thanks to all those who have been involved in the journey of this album besides those that have been directly involved, to name a few: Lang, Roly, Jamie Dream & Pepi, John Green, Matt, Cleo Recos, Michelle, Hendrique & Phillipe, Gavin Knight, Sharon Ashley-Hoffman, Pierre & Gilles, Spring, David Gurnhill, Martin Watkins, Kim McCarthy & Robyn Jelleff, Mike Nichols, and Janis & Shane at Some Bizarre.
In New York: The divine Anita Sarko (who i don't phone as musch as I should), Jamie & Chris, Brandy Wine & Brenda A Go Go, Mistress Formika, Michael Schmidt and Squeeze Box, Dante, Eric Welsh, Jo Dawson (chicken girl and lover of Elvis), and thank you to John Coxon and Steve Nieve who planted the seeds to some of these songs.
Thank you to Dave Bates, and Mercury for having faith, and of course a special thanks to my manager Stevo who was instrumental in making this record happen
