Mr Glad is an annogrammatic cousin of the deceased (February 2014), and infinitely more famous, Dr Glam.
A seventy-five-cent (less if you shop around) act in a seven dollar world. Mr Glad invites you to leave your day-to-day self at the door (aren’t you a little board anyway, darling?) and grant yourself the license to dream, flirt, pretend and pose a little. Come on over to the lizard skin side of life and ponder who/what you’d like to turn into if no-one else is watching…
The Skeleton Family:
Herr Knochenkoph (aka Nick Hollamby)
Keys, backing vocals, loose legs
Self-confessed taphophile and awarded contortionist, Herr Knochenkoph, is from the village of steinhofel, one hours drive east of Berlin. When not on tour with the Skeleton Family, he enjoys his time at home eating cold meats and knitting body parts. He also the proud owner of the worlds biggest tea bag collection.
Apocalypta (aka Metiria Turei)
Ukulele Bass, Low-level Wickedness
In 1956, Professor Eudicots, head of Athroapocalism at Oxford University, unearthed the lost tomb of Amaryllidacea, Queen of Allioideae, well know for horrifying torture with large allium. The royal coffin contained only the spine and ribs of the Queen’s luscious body, strung together with long lengths of sputum-encrusted hair. Professor Eudicots was found eviscerated just a few hours after reporting the find but by then both the strange bones and the elderly tea lady has mysteriously disappeared.
Herr Schlager (aka Sarah Williamson)
Drums, Extreme Subversion
The abandoned love child of punk godmother Nina Hagen and lederhosen tycoon Geld Schlager, Herr Schlager was raised in the Bavarian Alps by his catholic great aunt Klara. She was not angry, just disappointed, when he fell in with the wrong crowd at the local beer hall and gave up his career in yodeling forever. He now rattles and bangs his way around the world with the Skeleton family and in his spare time enjoys scrapbooking his performances as a drag queen.
