About Me

smart kids with sharp instruments and tuff-enuff looks. a pure-heart-stop-start-noise-nik trio, born from the craving of young hearts and a fervour for connection in a cold, cold world. make a mess. break a heart. stick the rules. punk rock is for the wimps.

irene has also played in lesbo pig; michal and lisa have also played in headfall, the awkward dancers and little targets.

corey orbison use and endorse the alternative functioning of valentine's day:

* * * does anyone have linda ronstadt's 1980 lp 'mad love'??? michal wants it bad. if you send him a copy you'll get something great in return * * * you will probably find it at the back of the box in a charity shop, or i bet your hip older sister has a copy, steal it for me! * * * i'm very serious * * *

Sounds Like: "Et quand je dis que les Corey O's c'est le groupe le plus cool du monde c'est parce qu'ils expriment quelque chose que je n'avais jamais vécu jusqu'ici. Le Ladyfest, Bristol, The Gossip à Londres, samedi et lundi soirs furent des jours exceptionnels pour moi. Je donnerai toutes les Eurockéennes du monde pour les revivre. Tu vois ces gens qui ont eu les mêmes peurs, frustrations, envies, amours que toi et qui on font cette musique exceptionnelle. A un concert des Corey O's, tu te sens vivant, heureux, tu as envie de tomber amoureux et personnellement aucun autre groupe ne me fait cet effet. Tu as juste envie de prendre tout le monde dans tes bras"
