Goldbug are Carl James, who makes most of the noise, and L.G. Edwards (the brains behind the operation) who plays the spoons when needed and provides an awful lot of general theoretical advice on such diverse topics as fashion, politics, travel, library science and eastern mysticism. Our chakras are aligned, even if our click track isn't!
The first bug recordings were at Anglesea Studio in Christchurch, New Zealand. Some say there is a lost album or three of recordings done in Auckland some time during the '90's. The recordings you can hear on this site are from a later session, again back at Anglesea Studio, Christchurch on a TASCAM Portastudio 4-track tape machine and were made after short tour of the US and England. The band is currently international in nature, Edwards residing in Auckland, N.Z. and James in Hamden, Connecticut in the USA.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a listen and feel free to let us know what you think. Check out our other website where we have an albums worth of demos you can check out:- http://gldbug.webs.com
We love to hear from anyone that wants to say "hi". The thing we like about myspace is we get to discover a whole world of music we didn't know existed. Hope you feel the same way.
We do plan to (self) release newer recordings (including some better recordings of these demos) at some point soon, but that all depends on time constraints, of which there are many.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

Thanks for the comment....The Chills, as it was called before Martin Phillipps and The Chills of today, was an excellent era for us. I bought a drumkit not knowing how to play it, and formed The Chills with Martin and Peter Gutteridge at the time....a heap of fun! By the way, I am working in Christchurch these days and maybe we may cross each others paths!!
TRULY enjoyed that video! Thanks you very much for sending it. Wonderful song, achingly beautiful (in that nostalgic sort-a way) footage. Kudos and congrats. GUSSY
