Member Since: 4/6/2006
Band Members: Kwim: all instruments, vox & production.
Influences: Not likely, mate. Maybe Grant Morrison, Burroughs, Alan Moore, Rimbaud, Bataille, Deleuze, Xoanon Publishing, Peter L Wilson, City Lights, Austin Spare, Starfire Publishing, Corso, Nick Land & the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, Michaux, Ginsberg, the future, the past, Ballard, Akira, Fulgur Publishing, Tron, Joel Biroco, Cyborgs, Pound, poor old glorious Fritz, Kenneth Grant, PKD - that kind of kick; abandonded buildings, the pretty lights, smog, ash, rain; misunderstood music lessons, misread music reviews, misremembered stories, half-baked pseudo science, cheap thrills, ketamine, red-wine, tat...
Sounds Like: Er... the incessant scratching of a million metal insects, the alien groaning of reptilian sex, the empty desert of horror, the collision of planets as satellites slow dive into dying suns...Ok, I've got one, 'Aphex Twin doing acoustic slayer songs from the bottom of a well.' Or maybe 'Bastard Noise covering "Bergtat" by Ulver'. Maybe a bit like this:Maybe not, though....
