About Me

There was a glitch. There WAS a bio here which said that our music was atmospheric and beautiful and poignant and intense. And there was a review from the good people at Drum Media. It said that our self-titled EP was, words to the effect of, "gorgeous", "pop like it's meant to be made" and contained echoes of the Beatles and Dusty Springfield. It was by Michael Smith, who we love. And there were links to www.vitamin.net.au (where you can order the EP) and www.martianmusic.com (where you can download it). Oh, and iTunes Australia too. Oh, and it said that our debut LP was nearly finished! Bugger. Inconvenient, that glitch. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !

Hey Stranger

Mixing a record is a funny thing. Every time the process begins again I get re-amazed at how much you can actually do as part of the mixing process. The whole character of a song can be totally change...

New Song at Open Labs.

Untitled. Which is, of course, a title.

Belgium/New Pictures/Overdubs

Evening. Did some overdubs this evening. Some bits and pieces; the window dressing that you only tend to notice the fiftieth time you hear the album. Also, Gab re-did her vocal on "Spanish Tony" ...

FAQs

Evening. There have been a few questions asked of late, some perfectly understandable and others which are, at best, impertinent and, at worst, downright unhygienic. So, as a means of cleari...
