Influences:
Sounds Like: We are going to use this space (Sounds Like) to tell you about our name. The book Street of Crocodiles was written by Bruno Schultz (1892-1942) in 1934. Later in 1963 The Brothers Quay made their incredible animated film Street of Crocodiles. Both the original book and the animation have been inspirational to us. We have been doing sound work in Calgary since the early 90's. Groups that have splintered off of this group are many... a few are: scum de terre, tokyosexwhale and Tomato Tomato.
