The Machines Will Take Over

we have nothing to do with the Matrix!

About Me

We are back from our tour with Shermer and it has been one of the most unforgetable experiences of my life, totally mind blowing... We drove over 2,000 miles, sold lots of stuff to keep us going, drank more alcohol than you would in ten years, smoked 500 + cigarettes... and saw Lewis cock more than once!
however....
AFTER THREE YEARS WE ARE CALLING IT QUITS!
70 something shows later, over 10,000 miles driven, we are breaking up and having three final shows - but we will have a new band forming from the ashes, so please stay tuned!
If You Would Like to Purchase anything of ours, please get in touch @ [email protected] - we will be getting a new press of tshirts! ********************The Machines Will Take Over ... we come from West Yorkshire. We have played with some of your favourite bands, and played with some bands you may not be familiar with!... you can see all of our past endeavours here: yes, here! a list of bands off the top of our heads: Itch, Kaospilot, The Little Explorer, Dugong, Kelly8, Another Breath, Shermer, Above Them, Somehow Hollow, Sometree, Minority Blues Band, Freaks Union, The New Lev Yashin, Jenifrever, Sounds Like Violence, Angora Static, Last Kiss, Cat on Form, Razor Crusade, Long Live, Pray for Hayden and more and more and more!
We have toured once, with SECOND TO LAST in april 2004, we toured with ABOVE THEM in july 2005... and now we are touring with SHERMER in august 2006...
We have recorded material too... we'd love you to listen to it, and buy it and help support the very people who made it happen! more importantly.. come to our shows! and buy a shirt
