about

While it was with 1989's Varicose Brains cassette that Tony finally went "public" with his solo work, a few earlier cassette compilations of Tony's recordings made the rounds amongst the Space Station's (Tony's studio/home/storage facility) inner circle of friends and collaborators. The King's Bicycle was one of those cassettes. The King took off on his bicycle and never looked back.
