Herb Diamante
Herb Diamante is actually John Godbert who plays w/ Vibracathedral Orchestra and was a part time member of Skullflower. His act is an unusual mix of retro British "casino Royale" spy-lounge-oddities in his stunning outfit, with the classic voice reminiscent of a Stoic version of David Bowie with Bryan Ferry suave crooning. Full-length forthcoming on Abduction.

"Diamante is a dissipated crooner in the mold of Bryan Ferry (or a decadent Steve Lawrence)." - The Stranger
Porest

Sea Donkeys
"An anonymous Seattle outfit of assembled misfits, sub-criminals, and castaways. Jettisoning down the fast current from the foggy low tides just off the glossy-lipped pucker, this renegade band of pirate fuck-me-naughts slip into the dead stream with unwitting direction, abandoning tired navigational tools for a less reliable fate. Imagine the Manson Family singing on a sinking ghost galleon sippin' salt water, willing to go down, down with the ship. Originally hatched on a decrepit boat, where some of these tracks were recorded on soupy nights till dawn upon the Puget Sound, the Sea Donkeys patrol the uncharted waters smuggling Barbary coast psychedelia into northern ports for their infrequent role as Lord Summerisle's house band."
