The Silas Scarborough Band
Screen shot from the "Anthem of the Dead" video at Stonehenge. Click it to watch.
The video was shot quite a few years ago and the master is not recoverable. If you have the "Illusion of Gravity" DVD then hang onto it as it is now out of print.
Zeldo
Keyboards and Synthesizers
Zeldo has been with the band for quite a while now and it's important to him to be kind of a fashion trend-setter. He's very optimistic about the hat.
Quote: "When they told me my first name was my Christian name, I gave it up. Too much responsibility."
Clarence "Crunchman" Clanton
Bass
The band picked The Crunchman because more stuff fell off the shelves while he was playing than for anyone else who auditioned.
Quote: "Are you going to eat that?"
The Monk
Lead Vocals
This is the outfit he wore for the Stonehenge gig. He may never live this cheesy outfit down but he's alright with it as it was really big fun that night.
Quote: "The question isn't so much whether there is an illusion of gravity but rather whether one perceives a gravity in the illusion thereby creating yet another illusion without any gravity at all."
Reverend Silas T Sasquatch
Rhythm Guitar
Sasquatch is a much better rhythm guitar player than he is a preacher. Just ask his congregation, if you can find anyone in it.
Quote: "I just like to play really fuckin' loud."
Silas Scarborough
Lead Guitar / Songwriter
Silas supplies the drugs and the sophistry. Sometimes he sings and plays guitar. He's not sure if he did all this just to get laid.
Quote: "I hope someday to get a meaningless nine to five job and savage myself in the futility of trying to save a dying infrastructure."
Vicki Nilsson the Thunder Goddess
Drummer on some of the songs
Vicki plays a set of electronic drums and it's unbelievable what she can do with them. It's been a huge pleasure putting tracks together with her as she really makes them kick.
Quote: "Shut up and play."
Silas will admit to being all the other characters in the band but he is not Vicki Nilsson. For that matter, Vicki Nilsson isn't Vicki Nilsson either but that story is more complicated than how Silas got all those images of himself into the same video.
