3 Dead Princes: An Anarchist Fairy Tale (Exterminating Angel Press) Musician Danbert Nobacon (Chumbawamba) and filmmaker Alex Cox (Repo Men, Sid and Nancy) will discuss and sign their for-adults illustrated fairy tale book 3 Dead Princes! "This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are wonderful. It definitely rocks! I ought to know." —Iggy Pop Danbert Nobacon, singer, songwriter, comedian, and “freak music legend” (sepiachord, Nov 2009), was a founding member of the anarchist punk rock band Chumbawamba. His career has been long (thirty years), wild, and always imaginative. Not to mention mischievous and political—he famously dumped a bucket of ice water over John Prescott, the British deputy prime minister, at an awards ceremony in London in 1998, to protest the Blair government’s treatment of striking dockworkers. He loves children and animals. This is his first book. Alex Cox is best known for his filmmaking skills (Repo Men, Sid and Nancy, Revengers Tragedy, Searchers 2.0), his presentation of the BBC's Moviedrome, his writing for various magazines and newspapers, his books (X Films, 10,000 Ways to Die), and his acting abilities. Now he's a book illustrator, and a damn good one, too. Who knows what will be next?  Also, he loves monsters.
