this band has a life of its own, it always did, not so much controlled as we held on and hoped there were going to be surviours at the end.it was the summer of 97 we, Val Dan and i (Tom) had just met,we were writing music that everyone hated because it was too complicated and imposable to play, many drummers, so, so many drummers, finally we met a few people who were in the same boat who we could help and helped us, demos, more demos negociations and finally deals. we and most musicians don't get signed by studios, but the people who recorded us, even though they didn't understand what or why we played like that or dressed the way we did, and for the most part hated all of our little world that the four of us lived in, the studio wanted us after watching one live show at the powerstation of all places ,out came the love and a record deal was spawned then readjusted when the studio partnership dissolved.kerekere ,touring, videos,partner break ups for all of us, with a large helping of what ever you fancy, more touring, constant writing, photos, overdoses,visit to the crazy house ,drugs, all kinds of crazy including line up change just to keep on playing thanks Wolf (nice lip-syncing), recovery "anshluss" is born.Dan, Aaron, Val, Tom have almost finished pre-prodution on indicator dogs album to be titled "in the face of disagreement".so that is the story but like all bands who stick their collective heads in the noose ,time seems to disappear then tap you on the shoulders to say hello,the new album is a glimpse at the new dogs sound we have evolved like all things that learn. malcom has agreed to produce it which means our twists and turns will sound just as we want them to .of the new album i can only say its full of the usual scary hijinxes hidden stories and fear of our ever shrinking world. so the dogs will be playing some shows in the beautiful n.z. then off to the usual destinations for a few months to play even more shows then home for a quick holiday then on with the next album blah .................................... post Val now lives in australia, mate, with the harvester of sorrow, 'Arry has new baby and one on the way -still a killing machine on the drums, Dan happy with beautiful new girlfriend zaneta jetting around the world like always, Tom married to the beautiful Jessica, yay.
