Who Is Count John?



Count John was born through noble lineage to play the spoons but stumbled upon a guitar, the guitar turned into a Mandolin and the Mandolin into a Banjo. This kept happening until fingers dripped blood, throats lay sore and hearts skipped beats. What happened next is drowned in myth, a tale of subversion and dark electronic arts. Look to the shadows, place your ear on the rail and you may hear the waves left by the deranged animal known to his mother as 'Sex Tourist'. Now laugh, laugh to the tune of an old folk song, a shanty from the depths and you will feel where the oceans sat, talking, yearning for nights gone by. Yarns were spun of Rolling Stones who stood to watch left sinking to the depths. Now let's sail again and sing to the tune of Count John.
