Biography

Andrez Simon Bergen,[2] was born in Melbourne.[1] With his friends Brian Huber and Mateusz Sikora established a record label, IF? Records in 1995 in Melbourne.[3] As Little Nobody,[2] he worked as a DJ and issued an album, Pop Tart in September 1998 on his label.[3][4][5] One of its tracks is "Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat".[2][6]

In April 2011 Bergen published his first novel, Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat, via Another Sky Press.[3][7] Nalini Haynes of Dark Matter Zine observed it is written in a "pseudo-stream-of-consciousness style" and warns that it "requires the reader to be familiar with numerous films from the mid-twentieth century."[8] His second novel, One Hundred Years of Vicissitude, appeared in the following year.[9][10] It "is by turns educational, inspiring, traumatic and humorous" according to Fantasy Book Review's Floresiensis.[9]
