R John Webb: Musician, Man of Words, Mister of Reinvention, Master of the Personality (crisis).
He has come to us in many guises. Throughout the 2010s he appeared as the 'Southern Gospel Preacher' of Cow Punk Blues band Rhino &The Ranters.
Then he morphed into the introspective troubadour with his old guitar telling sad stories about the death of kings.
Now he returns as DANDY THE VANDAL the time-travelling rocker from the 1970s come to save Britain from itself.
"Webb presents a strange dichotomy; blending his desire for the flamboyant and the fabulous with his love of the DIY, primitive, home recording aesthetic. He has as much in common with Shirley Bassey and Elton John as he does with R Stevie Moore and Elliott Smith."
He is Protean, a shapeshifter, a pain in the arse, a marketer's nightmare.
R John as Dandy and his trusty band of Godforsaken Sweethearts will be on the old telly box. We are recording a little set in studios. Who needs T-Rex when you got RAWSOUND TV?
A little song I made in recovery.
"The Ingenious Gentleman Dandy The Vandal and The Godforsaken Sweethearts" introduces R John Webb's latest character, Dandy The Vandal, a time-travelling rocker from the 1970s come to save Britain from itself! An irreverent, anarchic meta-concept album, revealing an ironic and witty look at the current state of the nation.
