Moochin' About

This is the 5th in a series of custom made, books by Persian artist, Iman Kakai-Lazell – featuring icons of Arts and Entertainment in a way never before seen… Working closely with each artists, the books feature, collages, never seen before photos, manipulated with original lyrics and confessions.

Kirk Brandon started his music career in 1978, in Clapham, London with the formation of punk group The Pack… The Pack consisted of Brandon, Scottish-born drummer Rab Fae Beith, Simon and Jon Werner on guitars. Brandon then formed post punk/new wave band Theatre of Hate in 1980 recruiting Stan Stammers on Bass, Nigel Preston on Drums and Billy Duffy on Guitar and John 'Boy' Lennard on sax. Theatre of Hate disbanded in 1983. Brandon and Stammers were then joined by Lascelles James on saxophone and Chris Bell on drums to form Spear of Destiny. The new band adopted a more melodic and less aggressive sound, distancing themselves from post-punk and moving a little more towards mainstream pop. While continuing to explore the political ideas that he wrote about in Theatre of Hate, Brandon’s lyrics for Spear of Destiny dealt more frequently with the classic pop themes of love and romance In 2003, Brandon did a solo tour as support to The Alarm on their 'Poppyfields' tour. In later years he performed in the punk supergroup Dead Men Walking, with an ever-changing line up which has featured - Dave Ruffy (The Ruts), Billy Duffy (The Cult), Mike Peters (The Alarm) Captin Sensible ( The Damned), Pete Whylie (Wah), Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols), Mick Jones &amp; Topper Headon (The Clash) Duff McKagan (Guns and Roses) Lemmy (Motorhead), Mike Scott (The Waterboys), Ian McNabb (The Icicle Works) and Roddy Frame ( Aztec Camera), amongst many others.
