Band Website: My PC can barely handle doing this.
Band Members: The sole member is possibly called Simon and or Williams who may have been involved in The London Electric Guitar Orchestra (LEGO) and has been also linked with its offshoot Kneel Down Like A Saint Gorilla And Stop, although all the above has been denied.
Influences: Sonic Youth, Negativeland, Leonard Cohen, Derek Bailey, Cannibal Ox, My Bloody Valentine, Negativeland, The Fall, The Honeycones, Plastikman, CassetteBoy, AMM, Public Enemy, Elvis Costello, This Heat, Lee Perry, John Cooper Clarke, Dinosaur Jr, el-p (Company Flow), Phillip Jeck, Suicide, Sister Sledge, Birdyak, Melt Banana, De La Soul, Genuinely prefers Sugarbabes to Coldplay.
Sounds Like: Attempting to marry "intelligent" "adult" song writing with elements of punk, plunder phonics, drum & bass, dub, improv and plain ol' noise. All this with less musical ability than the average 14 year old fret mangler. Comments from audiences have included mentions of Ivor Cutler, Tom Verlaine (twice!), the inevitable VU or Syd Barrett and most recently both Mike Skinner and Frankie Goes to Hollywood (?!). Amongst other comments have been "er...interesting", "You looked totally terrified up there", "You're a dark muthaf***er'' and "Not sure if this is genius or just a bit shit". Often however there is simply a chilly silence and a space cleared at the bar with occassionally isolated praise from the solitary, angry looking man in the corner.
