There was a load of stuff here about how we have toured in the USA and Europe, supported Matthew Herbert, did the music for a TV film awards show... but, you know, who reads? Especially greasy press releasy hoopla. The world has enough hype. We're not the most obvious band in the world, so if you're looking for music that slaps you in the face... well you never know what'll be on the next album but for now, ummmm.... no. Perhaps we're a bit more Robert Altman than John McTiernan? Who are we kidding, but anyway. You decide.
Our releases include: Sleeper (debut album, soon available worldwide on iTunes); The If If (second album, see below) and C-Sides which is up now on iTunes containing a mixed bag of tracks made between 1996 and 2006 that, apart from two, haven't been released before.
THE IF IF :: OUT NOW
The If If is out now on Groovescooter Records in Australia and New York/London label 12 Apostles for the rest of the world.
AUSTRALIA: You can use the "Buy Now" button above or it should be in Australian shops JB, HMV, Fish, Hum or of course Red Eye or So Music in Newtown, Sydney. Downloads are nice but you don't get the 12 page booklet... with hidden messages...

Here's a video for it what we done wiv our mate Cam the cam (who made the camera bracket that enabled the cycling shots).
So... we're ollo and as you can tell we make music; we also DJ, present a radio show, make visuals, design stuff, and get drunk more often than is wise.
Check out our website CLICK HERE
It has more information and goodies including MP3s you can download - nothing like what we do now but you may like them and they're free.
And here's Cyclic Defrost , Australia's best alternative music mag.
Err, what else? Our debut album came out in 2002 in Australia on Creative Vibes, entitled Sleeper. Contact us if you're interested in getting a copy; it has Goats Milk Silk on it among others. They're pretty rare (that means we didn't sell many). Below is the video for "Ping Pong" from "Sleeper", shot in Berlin by the very talented Doerte Kubillus.
We've also released individual tracks on Groovescooter, 12 Apostles, Kooky , Sauna Sessions and Instinctive Travels. Oh yeah we also send out email updates about what we're up to, so contact us if you want to join up.
