"The duo is the most perfectly primal of all musical acts. This melodic up-and-coming band serves up a smattering of vintage Modey Lemon bang-and-crash abstraction, lovingly hand-churned with the haunting noise of Jesus and Mary Chain"... --Las Vegas City Life
"Nani and Koba 'get it' and I can't wait to hear what this duo has in store for us"... --Piratepods.com

::Interview on the upcoming release "From Saturn" with Alison Holditch::
-Interview with Dusty Rose-
--D.R.-- I have a crush on the song Zero, Zero, Zero. I'd so wear a headband and do a few jumping jacks to this...or wear invisible headphones through a crowd at an uncomfortable party with this song playing. It makes me so happy. I love the lyrics of how they display a mild restlessness, yet acceptance to feeling like a Zero. What was the inspiration behind such song? --Koba: Last fall I had surgery for my appendix rupturing. It was very painful. When I wrote the lyrics, I thought about that time; how unavoidable some pains are in life. And also, I really felt empty after my surgery. With one of my organs taken out, it wasn't quite Zero yet, but i really felt like I was missing something afterwards. --D.R.-- 'Satire on Satan?' Is this your first release of songs? What do you like most about this ep? --Koba: Yes, since it was our first demonstration, we just wanted to show what we were going for at the time. It's a good demonstration of what we sound like for two people. --Nani: We actually never planned on being a duo, it just happened to work best this way. And this EP depicts well the direction we were going at the time. --D.R.-- "Death on the beach making fun of jocks"... Such a clever line of sarcastic humor... did you know i once was a jock embarrasing i know. Shhh don't tell anybody. --D.R.-- It's chorus reads:"If I had tricks up my sleeve that could keep your attention I would make you believe that I was just like them"... Would you consider yourselves outsiders in life? Are you now or have you always been? Would you consider that a struggle or an accepting pleasure-knowing that you're way cooler on the sidelines in the shadows laughing at all those around? --Koba: It's a song about how stupid it is to categorize/judge people. "I hate jocks, they hate me"... We are all equally absurd, just like a racist is!
"This is the second compilation from stolen recordings and it's limited to 500 copies in their usual high quality packaging. it contains music from britain, europe, america and japan"... -- Roughtrade.com
