The Lurkers at COP 15
Channel: Tantra Movement
Date: 2012-04-20

The Lurkers play subversive homespun bluegrass. With double bass, banjo, guitar and three-part harmonies, it's acoustic hillbilly punk about environmental evangelism, pirateering and DIY armageddon.  
Based in Sydney (Australia), The Lurkers are bringing songs of rebellion to a new generation.
Who are The Lurkers?
Martin Cubby aka Pretty Boy Floyd
By day Pretty Boy Floyd puts his skinny shoulder to the union organisers wheel. By night, he lets loose singing and playing blues on his 'fascist-killing' guitar and soulful harmonica. 
Mithra Cox aka Desert Rat Shorty
By day, Desert Rat Shorty fights the consumerist juggernaut and teaches the joys and nuances of composting. By night, she sings, picks and strums her banjo, telling stories of woe, humour and the world. 
Nicholas Mueller aka the Weary Hobo
By day, the Weary Hobo works at a community support worker in the north west hills of Sydney, and at uni convenes a student mental health group. At night, he sings away his wild oats while playing a thumping double-bass.
