About Me


Hi, we're called Mission Control. Yes, we're on Myspace... We look forward to receiving friend requests from 50 year-old men pretending to be teenage schoolgirls.
One night in a garage, we got together through our love of fucked-up jams, psych guitars and science fiction atmospherics. The first backyard gig was a deafening mash-up of the Bladerunner soundtrack, Klaus Dinger, Vangelis and 80s Pink Floyd cut into the theme from Dr Who.
In a little room crammed with battered pedals, a miked-up power saw and synths from way, way back when Michael Jackson was black, we started recording our own tunes.
