Lost Light
“When I saw Old Time Relijun at Tonic a few months ago, guitarist and vocalist Arrington de Dionyso wore no beard to obscure his baby face.

“You could say that wildly eccentric (read: mentally fucked) Old Time Relijun frontman Aarington Dionyso is a little Black Francis, a little Darby Crash, some Birthday Party-era Nick Cave and part talentless Agent Orange-addled Vietnam vet derelict shoveled off the street and thrown, mid-acid flashback, into a recording studio. Like Francis on the Pixies' *Surfer Rosa*, Dionyso also enjoys shriekin”
