Sounds Like

we think: FSOL, KMFDM, the KLF

Clark 8 is about 1 song away from finishing their second (full band) full length: Snooze!
Too busy <3ing to be hating.

Clark 8 "School Of Expression" CD - $5 postage paid
Check out this review: I.E. provides a bedroom no wave with hammering drum machines and halted lyrics, clashing nicely with the indie doo-wop of Clark 8’s Merge-styled “Get Back To It” --- full review: Animal Psi
New LP (or EP) depending coming before you know it. FULL BAND, no exceptions. :-D
clark8@gmail.com: The guaranteed best way to reach us for your wedding party, bar mitzva, quinceañera, pool party, charity event, for-profit event, unplanned event, jam session, recording session, vegan BBQ, vegetarian BBQ, proper Texas BBQ (wif the meaty bits... mmm.), rooftop party, high school reunion, college reunion, kindergarten reunion, Montessori preschool reunion, Musicians sans frontierres, etc. mission. MySpace messages will be seen too, but are more likely to get lost and whatnot.
I would've loved to catch a Bobby Conn show, never seem him play. I'm hoping they do bring EO back, even if it's just for a weekend. I'm sure it's pretty risky for Disney even with all of the current support. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed it happens :)
You're too kind! That's really nice of you to say so. I'm totally down with everything going on with this page. Album art, your words, the music, etc. Keep it up! Love, Thee Dandy Lionzzz
