about
Alan Moore, David J & Tim Perkins, also referred to as The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, is a performance art/spoken word collaboration between comic book writer Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell), musician David J (bassist for goth rock pioneers Bauhaus) and musician/producer Tim Perkins. The group formed in the mid 1990s, as part of Moore's coming out as a magician, described by comic book writer Warren Ellis as "a return to his roots of performing from the days of the Northampton Arts Lab and the various bands along the way from there to here." The group's performances and recordings are generally of an occult theme or practice, consisting of prose poetry set to music, sometimes accompanied by a dancer. Several of these performances have been recorded and released onto CD, the first of which was the self titled The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, performed in 1994 and not released until 1996 on the Cleopatra label, a week after the release of The Birth Caul. It was an exploration of magic, Glycon (a Roman snake deity) and "a tour of the wild magic of the London area the piece was being performed in." Fellow writer Warren Ellis wrote in 2000 that parts of Moore's monologue for The Moon and Serpent... "emerged first as introductory pieces to FROM HELL," Tracks from the album have been featured on other releases, such as the first track The Hair Of The Snake That Bit Me appearing in 1995 on Hexentexts, a Creation Bo
