Stewart and Sparky's Flaw

I am trying to figure out if Stewart has been invovled with the band formerly known as Sparky's Flaw, now seemingly called Parachute.

I can find reference to a song entitled "Stewart Coplenad" on a Sparky's Flaw EP called One Step. Was Stewart involved in that at all or was he just the inspiration for the tune? Is it any good?

Thanks for helping satisfy my curiosity.

Mmm... I can't find a link to listen to the song but I doubt much that Stewart is involved with the band.

Anyway there was already a Topic about it:

What Shangeris said.^

STEWART wrote:Great song! Brilliant lyric! Not sure what it's about.


Oddly catchy tune though.

Sorry. I am a pitiful typist and speller. I meant Copeland.

Thanks for pointing me to the thread. Love that Stewart wrote in about it.

Suspect I can live without the song, at least for now.

It's also 99 cents on iTunes.

ETA: I should mention that it's not exactly musical genius and I find the bridge to be a mess, but it's still oddly catchy.

Nick, if you're interested, there are a couple of other SC-dedicated songs as well. One is an instrumental called "Stewart Copeland Rides a Camel Across the Serengeti" by the Bottesini Project (album: Bottesini). I'd swear that there is a third, but I can't remember what it is right now. Will let you know if it pops into mind.
