about

Django is an observation of 21st-century idolatry and the infinite flow of generational disdain. In the guise of an ode to both gypsy jazz guitar hero Django Reinhardt and Sergio Corbucci’s fictional blood-stained gunslinger, Django both lambasts influencer culture and celebrity worship whilst satirising the traditional homogenous definition of what makes a hero. Musically backed by signature wonky, rockabilly-esque guitars and bass with a little influence from Reinhardt himself, Django is the perfect introduction to the screwed up world of Divorce Finance.

This Generation
Makes me sick
And Tired to the bone

David Grohl
Tommy Shelby
Whoever's the hero these days
Everyone thinks
They’re Mark E Smith
But I
Just wanna be Django

Meetings, schedules, office lust
The usual drugs, the washing up
Not quite the paradise I had in mind
Eyes glued to an iphone screen
Whilst reading about roaming free
Just like the only man I idolise

Bring me my gun
My maccaferri
I’m dying
I need to hit the road
Everyone still thinks
They’re Mark E Smith
But I
Just wanna be Django

Checkered suits and cigarettes
Three fingers lost but no regrets
Quite the bohemian Bonaparte
Dragging coffins through the street
Whilst both a gypsy and marquee
Justice
In the name of art.
