Sounds Like: an elephant making luurrrvee to a dog or a couple of dogs or a pack of rabid dogs then mauling the elephant or a couple of elephants standing on the afore mentioned rabid dogs and squashing them to a pulp!Pulp Friction!This is what a reviewer at The Metro had to say about our New Year Gig...."Whatever else 2009 holds,let's hope that's where band names influenced by The Ting Tings/Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong end"She's clever!Here's sum stuff people have said abooot us:"...Ignore the horrendous name:this is hyperactivepunk/funk/ska complete with bongos, bad dancing and heaps of energy. In other words utterly superb" - THE HEARLD"High Octave music of the first order...Punk riot fun from a band on the up" - OPTIMO"...possibly one of the weirdest and wonderful names i have come across" - WINNING SPERM PARTY"...they might be just a little too off the wall for there own good" - ROCK MIDGETS.com"Destined to be one of the "Bands to Watch" in 2009" - ARTROCKER"Show off is a rollercoaster of yelling, spoken word verses, racing rhythms and cowbells, and it's unfailingly amazing" - THIS IS FAKE DIY"...MM and TCC's are no regular band..their music could not be considered regular either - not, atleast in the dictionanry sense of the word. It is far from compromising to rule or principle, symmetrical. It's actually pretty hard to pigeonhole" - EVENTHORIZON.com
