James Dunn
aka Fireball
James Dunn has a log in to this website but has not the urge to write about himself so I am deciding to do it for him.
James Dunn is a man of mystery, a strange obsequious character, full of shady inclinations for the pool halls of London.
We first came across him as he was beating information out of a no good two bit tramp from Dalston.
Tooth pick hanging from bottom lip he nearly turned on us, but we were able to appease his firey nature with a couple of rounds of moonshine and gin.
Having told us a bit about himself and his past and us being charitable, open minded, free spirits, we allowed him over to the original Utrophia headquarters.
After an (un)fortunate electric shock originating from a loose wire of the four way in our kitchen, James started behaving differently.
He started talking about capacitors and diodes.
His understanding of the flow of electricity had been transformed and elevated to a whole new level via the electric bolt to the brain.
It was as though he himself had become electricity.
It was as though James had started channeling... aliens.
He was soon foiling breeze blocks and making whole walls conduct electricity.
With a rig of strange instruments he started to evolve sounds that were not at all of this world and some worthy of other alien luminaries such as the guy from Sonic Youth...
Explore James' world...
See into his alien brain...
