All proceeds from our new single "You Cancer" will go Carcinoid Cancer Foundation (CCF), Mayo Clinic, and St Jude. This track features Robsie and Claire McDaniel!
Antonio wrote this song several years ago when his best friend Thomas first began his battle with Carcinoid Syndrome (Cancer). Carcinoid impacted Thomas by bending his intestinal tract like a water hose - kinked to not allow the flow.
At the time of this release, Thomas has undergone several surgeries - intestinal tract removal (9 ft) and most recently - open-heart surgery.
This track is for him and anyone who has encountered cancer - internally or externally. Carry on. Fight.
We love you! Oh Antonio and all of His Imaginary Freinds!
I know what you're looking for
And I know who you are
You've taken down the ones who are closest to me
And I’m not willing to give up anyone more
I am sick at the thought of you
And when did you think it would be ok
To rear yourself up from the trenches of hell and rear your ugly face
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to this brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off my dearest friends and
Find a new place to hide
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to this brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off my dearest friends and find … a new place to hide
I’ll stand by you Thomas
And I’d trade places with you
I want Little Boston Thomas and Bailey Ann
To get to know the man and friend I have found in you
And then there is Staceyann
Your sweet and attentive wife
Who kneels down by your bedside
And prays for you every night
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Bend your ear to this brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off my loving man and find a new place to hide
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Bend your ear to this brazen chide
Take you lazy grip
Off my loving man and find … a new place to hide
Have you met my friend Courtney?
She lives just north of the city
Her art and creations come up in day to day life
In ways that you would never dreamed
Let me remind you
You placed that lump on her breast
But Courtney wrecked you with such silent strength
And now she bedamns you by name
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to my brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off my precious life and find a new place to hide
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to my brazen chide
Take your lazy grip off my precious life
Take your lazy grip off my precious life
Take your lazy grip off my precious life and find
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to our brazen chide
Take your lazy grip off this precious life
And find a new place to hide
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Bend your ear to our brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off this loving man and find a new place to hide
Fuck you, fuck you cancer
Turn your ear to our brazen chide
Take your lazy grip
Off my dearest friends and find a new place to hide.

Oh Antonio & His Imaginary Friends are a pop-rock-light hearted-good times group that love to have a great time! If Bowie
and Springsteen had a baby that jammed like Jerry Lee Lewis and danced like Elvis Costello, you would find us! We find inspiration for our music in everyday life - nothing is off limits!...more
Another stellar effort from the Melbourne producer and singer-songwriter, built around fragmented grooves, warped vocals, and catchy hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 29, 2020
Art-pop that turns a critical eye on the world, as accessible as it is complex; sales benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2018
Don't be fooled by the iridescent sheen of this glitchy electro-pop artist from London; her music has a tender heart. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2021
