  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    "Bizarre and playful. Psychedelic and indulgent. Hyper and Unique. Creative and poppy at once. The songs are silly little jaunts that somehow stimulate the mind and the ears while not taking themselves too seriously. The band is fun without apologies, but also strangely progressive and experimental." - COMMODITY FETISH RECORDS MAGAZINE

    “With lyrics befitting Captain Beefheart, Andre Breton, and/or Daevid Allen, there is nothing else I know of out there like Kingdom of Not, and consequently, impossible to classify.” – STEVE MECCA/ CHAIN D.L. K.

    "For a moment, suspend disbelief, and imagine you are in a room with a number of the following characters: Tiny Tim / “Weird Al” Yankovic / Ann Magnussen and Kramer of Bongwater / Spinal Tap / Tim Burton / David Lynch / David Byrne / Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh / Flaming Lip’s Wayne Coyne / Camper van Beethoven / Carl Stalling / Damon Albarn. This album may be the result of such a composition of individuals and performance enhancing substances… or not. Musically satirical, lyrically clever. With delivery full of puns and fun! Poppy-silly-demented get your goof-on and kook out rhythms." - KFJC SAN JOSE/DJ MISTER S

lyrics

Benny the Bright Penny sez:
"Please don't think I'm SQUARE
If I look ROUND at you!"

Agatha calls as she
Claws at the walls
Of her grave

Twisting and turning
And laughing and
Burning insane

Mouthing the words
As she quietly calls
Out your name –

Benny!

Come on Benny
You’re a real bright penny
In a world of change

Sitting in the locket
Of a dead girl’s pocket
On a silver chain

You da Buddha!

You could be the Buddha
Or a six-gun shooter
On a wagon train

Or a trilobite swimming
Through a petrified ocean
On a mountain range

You da ruler!

You could be the ruler
Of the papers and the
Pencils in a desk top tray.

Benny!

I’m the little girl buried
In the ground next to Benny
But I can’t explain

All the passion that
I feel in the sound
As we listen to the falling rain

Catch the raindrops, Benny!
Catch them on your tongue!

Come on Benny
You’re a real bright penny
In a world of change

Sitting in the locket
Of a dead girl’s pocket
On a silver chain

All the angels in heaven
Would drain out the sea

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

And the unicorn’s horn
Would bore into the tree

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

Scatter blood drops of envy
That burn through the leaves

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

Even Marilyn Monroe
Would fall on her knees

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

And her head would
Unlock like a skeleton key

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

And the golden hair drop
From her head to her knees
For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

All the birdies
In the tree tops
Bow their heads down

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

All the moon men
In the craters
Bow their heads down

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

All the microbes
In the carpet
Bow their heads down

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

Blaze Away-hey
Ah! Blaze Away!

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

Blaze Away-hey
Ah! Blaze Away!

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me

Blaze Away-hey
Ah! Blaze Away!

For the thing that is
Buried right next to me
