plus special guest appearances including
DEXY : Honey voiced solo (twisted alt pop, glam rock anti folk?) phenomenom who, in his short career has found himself on the same bill as Bob Dylan! Also with The Spinto Band who all requested copies of his CD. Real melodies married to lyrics that are both bitter and loving, broken and joyous.
