Artist description
Dewey was fascinated with race cars and their drivers, in particular Scott Henkins, a two-time hill climb winner in the nineties. Some years ago, she failed to graduate from marine Biology school. When she met Nosaj they decided to make music to drive to on their urban nocturnal tours. Sometimes she makes very large drawings of women, eyes closed, floating in limbo. People who have empty places on their walls buy the pictures. Nosaj completed an animated version of Shakespeare's MACBETH and a modern-minimalist opera about a wayward robot at the age of 12. Time passed. He liked taking things apart and putting them back together. The first film in his series of films about pickpockets and loose women won awards. One of the awards was an actual bronze statuette in the form of a cubistic female nude. |

Artist History
Pukka's song NAKED DRUNK AND HORNY was on the Ministry of Sound compilation cd THIS IS TECH POP. Pukka's song NAKED DRUNK AND HORNY is in the new Chloe Sevigny film, which apparently also has Marilyn Manson in it. Pukka's music is recorded 12 stories above street level. Harry Barratt at the age of 8 said that Pukka's music sounded "like broken robots dancing". Pukka's live performances feature an electric dress.
