About Me

We're a queer girl/boy duo who write tasteless sordid songs by playing keyboard demos, drum beats and karaoke tracks with the odd badly played guitar riff. We attempt to distract audiences from our lack of talent by dressing cheap and covering our nipples in tit tape, throwing things at them, dancing and pissing on eachother.

Our CDs are available from the wondrous Manifesta Distro and also Cause and Effect distro (link to come)!
