BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Bill Rivers and Dawn Mendonça live and operate as artists in the small town of Tomar, Portugal. Painting, photography, video and music are their elected means of expression.

With The Idiot Sociiety they explore the absurd, the grotesque and the divine which can be observed in daily lives.

Building their melodies over mostly electronic rythms, while nodding to some of their musical heroes, "Zorba the Buddha Part 1" is a parade of characters, and their personalities, disguised as songs. Simple yet witty and catchy songs, delivered through the voices, and the cumplicity, of Bill and Dawn.

They are not idiots. Society is. Maybe that's why they end the album with "Jungle Song": "I want to live in the jungle, eat and play with the animals...".Fortunately they don't and make such great songs. For our delight.
