"POLKA" and "SILENCE IS DISTANCE"
around.

.. Polka

“Lack of enthusiasm is not a problem for Yves Klein Blue. They are a bunch of 19-and-20-year-olds from Brisbane who are grabbing the chance of playing the Big Day Out by the neck. It is pop with fierce rhythms – and they have the songs… Up here on the hill at the Local Produce stage, watching them with the 300 indie kids that have braved the day, a positive of the festival emerges.”

Robert Forster, The Monthly.

OR 'SILENCE IS DISTANCE'

The guys at ultrasuite (anne st, fortitude valley brisbane) are now selling our t-shirts, as well as a few CDs.
If you are at all interested. Rumour has it that we doused them in a special pheremone that makes you irresistable to attractive intelligent memebers of the opposite sex. (once again, we may have started this rumour) they also allowed us to desecrate their front window, like a diorama, i think we should have filled it with star wars figurines still in their original packaging of course, we would have used all my favorites - hahn, leiya, luke and even chewie! First Prize! (first prize first prize first prize (fade out) first prize first prize)(suspicious minds remix)
ITS THE BEATING OF THAT HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HEART!
