  • Hamell not only records music, performs live, does independent writing, he also paints. All of the images below, and many you see as the accompanying artwork on the digital releases, are Hamell paintings. These vary in size and price, but are all acrylic on canvas. Hamell paints scenes inspired by the 'underground' and 'disenfranchised' of our society. Ed uses bold and bright colors in his paintings which contrast the darker subject matter, championing the underclass, drawing you into the characters he depicts, endearing you to them and sparking emotions one might not anticipate.Hamell is also available for specific painting commissions.

about

Can there be anything more infectious than the chordal riff to Sister Ray or Jonathan Richmond's Roadrunner? I think not. Hence my utter thievery. I played drums on this too and I'm here to testify that it was a boatload of fun. You could play that groove for hours....

lyrics

Oh we are gonna party, when Judy gets back from the rehab, she ain't gonna know, she might not even be invited. She taught me everything I know, know, she taught me everything I know, who is a dirty so and so who might be coughing up the dough.
She told me Eve got raped, it happened on the first date, it was the first of the first dates, they dance to some band called The Snakes. She had a bloody party dress, cursed at the heavens, what a mess, God said, "Eve you're under stress." No one in Eden would confess.
She taught me everything I know, . She taught me everything I know, who is a dirty so and so who might be coughing up the dough.

When Judy gets back from the rehab, we're gonna talk if she will want to, I will be quiet if she wants to, make myself scarce if she wants to.
She told me secrets of the King. I told her don't say a thing. That him and her had a fling. his wife was in on this thing. Yo8 can bet that the press, had the palace address, everyone digs playing chess, they had their pictures all undressed.
She taught me everything I know, know. She taught me everything I know, Who is a dirty so and so who might be coughing up the dough.
I said one two three four, one two three, one two, three, one two three four, one two three, one two three,one two three, yeah!
Welcome back Judy!!!

She told me secrets of the night, the purple black and the white, out on the road it feels right, Masters of the Airwaves, getting tight. He comes home at 5:15, everyday he just acts mean, his says his life is obscene, I dig the light when it's green. She taught me everything I know, know, she taught me everything I know, who is a dirty so and so, who might be coughing up the dough.
I said 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, Yeah!
Welcome back Judy!!!
