Desiderata 90
From Plastic Tub
| A short-lived prog-rock band founded by David Payne which helped define Post-HoboCore pop culture. The line-up was a melange of street people, professional train-car bandits, assorted tub-thumpers, guitar masters and of course, Dave Payne himself on vocals, piano, harpischord, electric bassoon and skin-tyriod. Though the outfit released only two albums on the now-defunct Alpha Chimp label, rumors of a reunion tour and the release of previously unrecorded material are persistent.

 [edit] DesiderataDuring a benefit concert in war-torn Kosovo, lead singer Payne unwittingly sold his bassist (24 yr old Samantha Steranko) to a Chetnik rebel, a misunderstanding which ultimately resulted in the expansion of local hostilities. A toothsome grin portends an evil man. -- from Sleeps for Two, track 2, Crabgrass is the Language of Love.
