about

Meet Dr C. A man having midlife crisis with toytown tech. Fans of Numan, Momus or Go-Kart Mozart might appreciate.

Penguin Bowie is the first siren call from Dr C's new cassette Gigolo Discotheque – coming your way on February 3rd. Released exactly eight years to the day an Ohio zoo named its new blue penguin Bowie (in honour of the Thin White Duke's 69th birthday). Like DB and Dr C, the world’s smallest penguin species march to the beat of their own drum.

Feel free to sing-along...
