Download the Tracks hereCheck out the latest comic strip here Early History: The Avatars of New Psychpop, Skeleton Staff formed around the slightly unhealthy axis of Stanton and Godfrey, who have been friends since childhood, and went to the same school, where they formed the metal band 'The Dead Set' in their early teens... After disagreements about who was the singer/frontman, Godfrey left to join 'Panzer Division' fronted by Nyfty Colditz, a proseletysing underground guru harbinger of a new youth consciousness. This line up of 'Panzer Division' had several underground hits including 'Love Will Tear Up The Charts - Again', but Nyftys' continual experimentation with hallucinogenic pharmaceuticals eventually rattled his brain and made his behaviour at first erratic, then psychotic, then he became a real estate agent. The band was then joined by Stanton at Godfreys request, at first to bolster the flailing line up, then to replace the zombified singer. Arguments still remained as to who was the lead man... Many felt 'Panzer Division' would disappear from the hearts and minds of the public with the departure of Nyfty, but his passing, though sad for the music industry was a great boon to the property market community. He now remains merely a footnote in the glorious rise and rise of the until now, internationally overlooked funsters - Skeleton Staff. To be continued...
