Count Pukebeard – “industrial noise for industrious people”

Count Pukebeard is a reasonably weird and not always politically correct noise-musician from the interior of Never Never Land. The superego has long since lost control over Pukebeard and the subconscious now controls his actions and choices. He is flamboyant and always absolutely unpredictable. His performances are improvised, non-linear and when at its best, overworldly surreal.
