we've got a lot of different influences----mod/punk/powerpop with some dub and some touches of experimental music/free jazz.
----3 record collecting dorks...so i won't get too nutty.
---late 7t's/early 8t's punk/powerpop singles, LAFMS, c86, savage republic, the chords, augustus pablo, sir horatio, slivers, housemartins, the jam, the clash, captain beefheart & the magic band, prince far I, saccharine trust, phil ochs,can, trojan records, master musicians of jajouka, konono no.1, the ex,the ruts, dubstep 12"s, big boys, chiswick records, rudolph grey, swell maps, booker t. & the mg's, z'ev, big flame, bogshed, velvet underground, fast cars, the creation, riff raff, minutemen, fuck off cassettes, the members, the burial, protex, newtown neurotics,danny & the dressmakers,tv personalities, the purple hearts. the circles, john cage, FLUXUS music, redskins, missing foundation, harry pussy & a bunch of bands that released a 45 and vanished. and oh lots of DIY cassette only releases.
--->from slash-n-crash CHORDS style racket to KING TUBBY riddims to industrial clank and sometimes all in the same set...of course, this usually means we get funny looks and empty rooms when we start getting "weird"...the best comment about us.."i like it when you guys rock out, but i don't get that experimental junk"....nothing ventured, nothing gained....and i thought this was rebellion..
we've shared the stage, floor, basement, etc. w/ ALTERNATIVE TV, TV SMITH, FISHBONE, DEMOB, SUPERYOB (W/ frankie flame), DAN MELCHOIR'S BROKE REVUE, THE FLESHIES, BLOWFLY, GLENN MERCER (of the feelies) and we've played on all kinds of different shows from oi! to folk to experimental noise collectives....

thanks for req!great muzik really,a fusion between sperimental dub and influences like pere ubu and velvet underground....strong!greetings from Naples,Italy
Hey, this is ace... really enjoy it!! Yeah, we'd be great on a bill together, though being on opposite sides of the world poses some difficulty! Well, you never know... All the best!
get some shows. where i dont have people distracting me so im somewhat forced to stay outside during your set. i havent seen you guys since the AOH in november when i played with you guys.
Much appreciated for the add - not kidding when you said "similar wavelength!" Top notch stuff and who knows, if you're really lucky I'll send you some skank-tastic anarchist music...
