Headsound: The Pastafarians - ACPD

Magic Phil of Spaghetti Faction returns with more satire and political angst. Marc adds the music, building up beats and loops that complement but never overwhelm the vocals which have the attitude and lyrical ingenuity of Gil Scott-Heron.
It was only a matter of time before these two prolific contributors to the city's left-wing arts scene collaborated and the results are proving fruitful.
Phil and Marc will be live in the studio on Tuesday to play more Pastafarians tracks, some of their solo work and other favourites.
