PuppetMaster formed late in 2006 after siamese twins Elihu Lazarus (Vance Kirkland) and Logan Balthazar (Vince Kirkland) were brought together for the first time after being surgically separated at birth through a chance meeting at the party of a mutual friend.
Both had totally rejected the organised religions in which they had been raised and suffered the same recurring nightmare involving slugs from outer space. More importantly they were both frontmen of rock bands. Both sing and play guitar although through Lazarus was the craftman of the guitar while Balthazar's voice could strip wallpaper from walls.
With the addition of bassist Charon, drummer Gui and Dr Sulphate on synthesisers and loops, the twins formed PuppetMaster, taking their name from Robert E Heinleins 1951 science fiction novel, The Puppet Masters because the book has many similarities with their shared nightmare - battling against slug-like parasitic invaders from outer space.

The song "Sweet Dreams" by Puppetmaster explores the idea that everyone, regardless of their wants or intentions, is searching for something in life. The opening lines, "Sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree?" suggest that there is a commonly shared desire for a better life, or a more fulfilling existence. The phrase "travel the world and the seven seas" implies that people are willing to go to great lengths and distances to fulfill their desires.
The later lines "Some of them wanna use you, some of them wanna be used by you" suggest that there are those who are willing to take advantage of others to achieve what they want. The lyrics also suggest that some people may even desire to be abused, highlighting the complex nature of human desires and motivations.
Overall, the song suggests that our desires, whether they are noble or not, are a part of our human experience and that everyone is searching for something in their own way.
