Fantastic Voyage

The Granite Countertops pay tribute to the memory of David Bowie, in the form of a prophetic song he and Brian Eno wrote just before things went seriously wrong in the 1980s.

Daredevil

A visual realization of this track from PLANETS DON'T TWINKLE by THE GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, featuring Davis Jones and her GoAnimate avatars! "Life is a theatre, especially when it comes to war...it's all staged, you know."
