God of the bass. Known to hang out with Nasty Maggots. A Cabbage Night Orchestra staple. All tremble in his presence, not due to fear, but rather to the low-frequency rumbles from the 4-stringed instrument of Satin (not Satan, but Satin – dark overlord of the underworld of disturbing artwork). “Sinister Finister”…the uttering of his very name causes your car to stall, your guitar to detune or snare drum head to break. An evil, evil presence which must be stopped in our lifetime, before somebody pokes an eye out.
