About Me

and you can download our first record (ep, half an hour) in high quality at the wonderful internet Archive. downloading rocks!


since 2006. brussels, dc. we play indie trance (with a smidge of gayness). arpeggio YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! it's fun.
some say we are the bestest thing since the roman orgies. it's alright, ma (we're only kidding). we do hope you like it.
record (1/2 hour ep features i wish i was american / far from sound / in de wolken / i cried the day marlon brando died / this is the age of too much / conscientiously escaping the chains of western civilization i am what you could call a postmodern houdini) out 15th january 2008 on vlas vegas records via bang! distribution (and now also in france on greed recordings via cod&s distribution). which is awesome. get it via us at shows for 9 money units or via myspace or gmail, in stores maybe'ish 9,50'ish and from vlas vegas for 10. ivy booking for booking purposes. it is not a lie. booking at ivyagency dot net is where it's at, d o double g. (holler).
theguernica at gmail dot com for all your confessions. (booking as well / order the record / online seXX0r chat / discussion on metaphysics) we are human and try to do it ourselves, see?
after a case of theft and the recording for a 7" (the sonic youth. out in the fall, probably), we're back to saving up to record the 2009 album of the year. whamp whamp.
the michael blablablaoooooohweeooooh and du di dun du dewwwww. wixel pioouuuuuweeeeee wee-ooh wee-ooh. stino bwob bwahbwobbbvvv and some oooooohweeoh OH OH. nilo uh-u uh-u uh-u uh-u.
-OR-
the michael standard/gabdeg/dgbgbb and words. wixel standard/eacgbe/ggddaa/dgbgbe. stino eadg. nilo 6/8, 5/4, 11/4, 9/8, 2/2, 18/8, 4/4, 7/8, 3/4 or whatever.
we are philosophers (one is a homeless jobless but not loveless jack ass one is a record store clerk), a taxidermist and a translator. we are 1/4 african 1/4 ambiguous 1/2 aspiring and all sugar, lollipops and rainbows all the time. we want to bring that to your house or club or maybe clubhouse. play all over yr face mmm yummie.
oh, and here is a classic scene from one of the best series ever:

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/16/2005

Band Members: nilo verzorgt de drums.
stino bespeelt de bas.
wixel streelt de gitaar.
the michael betast eveneens de gitaar en schraapt de keel.

Influences:

and

what a partydude.
Sounds Like:

and ofcourse middle class indie nerds trying to be coherently eclectic.

but also according to a particular member of the press: "Red Hot Chili Peppers meets loopnerds meets Glam rock meets Nirvana". awesomely ridiculous!
