Bing Selfish: The Crown Prince of Avant-Garde Pop, the dapper crooning Dean Martin of the disaffected and disenfranchised. A South London myth whose songs of intrigue / betrayal / lust / science and imagination scan the 20th century and beyond...holding a hand out in a lyrical gesture of hope to those living under the yolk of the Fab Me generation...
As the macho rock establishment sinks to new depths of mediocrity and plagiarism, Bing Selfish and his phenomenal backing band The Ideals have created the perfect antidote, pure pop music, adventurous and subversive, a truthful call to arms for all who know there's more to life.
A philosopher, a poet, a visionary, all of these things and none, the work of Bing Selfish and the Ideals will continue to be appreciated by future generations. Why wait, when you can immerse yourself in the Selfish Experience NOW!
Calling All Dionysians: They thought they had lost him to the world of film making and radio serialisation. But just when you thought it was safe to sign up to that accountancy course or take that job as a phone-tapper's assistant, Selfish blasts back with the voice of conscience that makes you drop your prejudices, your inhibitions, and possibly your knickers, run out of the soulless supermarket and out into the Sun, the Sun, the Sun!
With harp, shakuhachi, the sonic stylings of Barry Krishna and the most delicate vocal harmonies yet on a Selfish record, this is the record of a summer that must never end! Bing berates, he lambasts, he excoriates. But on the turn of a sixpence, he soothes, he succours, he gives hope to your needy masses. Because Bing wants us to LIVE, and he's Calling All Dionysians!!!!
