Artist description This is a funky, lo-fi solo project direct from my desktop, constructed with a bare minimum of equipment (4-track, beatbox software, guitar, bass and my cartoonish but sincere voice).

Music Style Stripped-down low-fi songs about odd things, often with a danceable beat.

Musical Influences The Pixies, Johnathan Richman, Talking Heads, Portishead, Violent Femmes, Booker T. & The M.G.'s, Schoolhouse Rock.

Similar Artists Early Talking Heads, a less bluesy Beck, Fatboy Slim producing Elliot Smith backed by the Dead Milkmen (?)

Instruments Guitar, Bass, ReBirth RB-338, 4-track cassette recorder

Press Reviews "Like Spookey Ruben, but deeper, this takes a few listens to sink in, but Stephenson's loopy mantras and Mark Peterson's elastic bass lines and sinewy guitar draw you in, even as you're saying "Whaaa?!?"" - Darren Kerr, Forest For The Trees album review."...like an evil lover has played a trick on you by setting loose a dozen spiders to dance upon your back." - Stephen Whipple
