Information: Formed in 1983 by the elusive Grux, Caroliner is an experimental collective of musicians who perform covers of songs originally by a singing bull of the same name from the 1800's. When asked about this peculiar creature, the member B'sau-Sau responded, "Well the original Singing Bull was from back in the 1800’s… this gal had a singing bull on a ranch. She took it around, it sang all these songs, it could pick up songs, you’d relay these songs to it and then it would get it back to you, it would sing it back to you… so what she did is, she took it around, took it to all these mine camps, made a small little amount of money, you know, and entertained people. …she goes back to the ranch, there’s nothin’ to eat, everything’s gone to hell, there’s no food, nothin’, so she cuts up Caroliner and eats it, wraps it in its own skin and it keeps on singin'"
