3 min read

Originally signed to Alternative Tentacles, the band is finally releasing their new LP “Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion” ( got released in March as a very limited run for the fan-club only ) this August. Right now, the LP is finally available for masses: https://slimcessnasautoclub.myshopify.com/collections/munly/products/undelivered-legion 

Originating  from  local  DIY punk  roots, Munly J. Munly 32nd  has become  an  influential  and visually striking fixture  in the Denver  arts  community for over 30 years.   As lead  songwriter & vocalist   of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, DBUK and Munly & the Lupercalians,  the   lyricist and writer  has been  prolifically creating and performing  locally and worldwide,  generating a  cult following and   reputation. Within all  of Munly’s current  work  & projects, he    unites   hundreds  of fully developed characters in the   constantly morphing world  of Lupercalia.  His various work sonically & visually explores  an apocalyptic land burned down to the ground. This  new  music project  Munly & the Lupercalians  uniquely  utilizes the sounds of acoustic guitar to create  a spectrum of doom  while simultaneously  enlightening   a path of fascination  into  the magic territories of Lupercalia. As accompanying  musicians, Munly utilizes actual characters  of Lupercalia   as his band. 

Initially released as a  limited vinyl edition for fans only, this Munly & the Lupercalians album “Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion”  is finally officially coming out via SCACUNINCORPORATED on August, the 26th supported  by two special September 2022 record release shows in USA  and a full   October  2022 tour in Europe. This  record  is t release number one of three that will form  triptych  of tales about his created world of Lupercalia on SCACUNINCORPORATED record label; after this  Munly & the Lupercalians  album (#1), the additional  releases will be performed by his other  projects- Slim Cessna’s Auto Club (#2) and th DBUK (#3). Each album spins the tales and stories of various characters within Munly J Munly 32nd˚’s fictional world of the ’Kinnery of Lupercalia’

While discussing   his early  career, Munly J Munly 32nd˚explains: “I love A. A. Milne, but I have found that is not my voice. What faltering voice I have found is drawn towards unsavory situations, malevolent characters, uncompromising settings.” – while also creating similar  eclectic lyrical characters to Milne, Munly’s creativity does  differentiate   ]s his process  however. 

“I normally write in the first person” – further explains Munly: “But this does not mean I am the first person. I do love a few of my characters, however, I would not tolerate the majority of these abhorrence’s if they were real. And that is the crux. Many of these beings are not fiction in this world, for a portion of the human race they have been a dominating presence.”
