Influences: Around 1990 there where very few bands in the world doing what the Molecules where doing, the Boredoms/Ruins come to mind, although I never heard of these bands until around 91 or 92. The influence was to take all the music that we liked and try to do something new. Free Jazz and Improvisation, Punk and Hardcore, Prog-rock, performance art, 20 Century Classical music. All the music and bands that I played with in New York in the 80's was a part of it. Chris Millner (who I meet and played with at the end of the 1980’s in New York) and myself would spend hours talking about music and art and the kind of music that we wanted to make. All of our CDs were recorded at my 8-track demo-recording studio in Oakland, CA. (Remember analogue tape?). Some people called the music we made No-Fi, some called it Free Rock, Punk-Prog, Avant-rock, some people just called it shit. The basic ideas: take highbrow art and make it lowbrow, make it Ugly, make it "rock", make it not "rock", play beyond one's own limitations, make it wrong. – Ron Anderson
Sounds Like: Invasion de molecules survoltées ! Ce trio formé en 1990 est empreint d’une chimie particulière : rock in opposition, improvisations, free-jazz, grindcore, musique acoustique et électrique. L’ensemble offre un style inclassable, éxubérant et jubilatoire que l’on pourrait comparer à celui d’un Captain Beefhearth, Boredoms ou Dead Kennedys. Une musique incisive, échevelée et résolument surprenante

During the Spring 2007 European Tour we performed at every kind of venue, big festivals, clubs, bars, even a house party filled with crazy, drunk and dancing university students, as evidenced in the video above: sloppy, sweaty, with bad sound and just the way I like it..........................................................
