PETER BLEGVAD is a polymath - a writer, cartooonist, and, most often a musician. He is a member of the recently re-formed Slapp Happy ("the Douanier Rousseau of rock'n'roll"), and has played with Faust, The Golden Palominos, and other bands. Born in New York, he lives, like Leviathan, in Shepherds Bush.
