Artist description Fiely A. Matias, with the help of comedy composer/lyricist/guy who writes the songs that make the whole world cringe Dennis T. Giacino, warbles over-melodramatically like a true lounge lizard in heat. He sings songs of vengeance, retribution, and all-around demented melancholy as only a jilted lover can.
