Influences
Rubbing limes into our eyeballs while at a rave, roadkill, curtains, stuff that accumilates underneath your fingernails when you haven't washed your hands for a while, sawdust, Tuesday afternoons, HMS Discovery, Fife, murder, Red Dwarf, coconuts, discpline, Egypt, Green Giant sweetcorn, concrete and solar rays.
Sounds Like
Queens Of The Stone Age, Melvins, 80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Tool, Kyuss, Isis, Jesus Lizard, generally dark, sleazy-sounding, extra hard rock.
We are a 3-piece rock band from Dundee, city of Discovery, Jute and teenage mothers. We are very lazy. The bands core-songwriters are Uncle F and Furious anAll. We gig when we can be arsed.
The above tunes are live recordings taken from various shows. We will do a proper recording sometime in the future.
We no longer allow band requests because most of them turn out to be total shite. If you are a band and want to be our friend message us instead. We'll have a listen and if we like you we'll accept. If we don't like you then you can just fuck off.

“(…) Blaupausen zeitlos guter Rockmusik.Aber dann zwei Übersongs: The Hill Where I Lay als verdammt bester Blackmail-Song, den Blackmail nie geschrieben haben, und Take Off/Space als epischer Ausstieg, der neuneinhalb Minuten lang mit dichter Atmosphäre klarmacht, warum die Band auch auf reinen Prog-Seiten neben Pink Floyd und Mogwai Lob einheimst“ (VISIONS)
“(…) Happyless and Waste and whine are blueprints of timeless , brilliant rockmusic.“ (VISIONS)
„Die zwischen verträumten Licks und schrammeligen Soundwänden balancierende Gitarrenarbeit sowie der getragene Gesang verleihen den Songs überdurchschnittliche Qualitäten.“ (ROCK HARD)

"If this band would come from the United Kingdom they would be considered as one of the best space rock acts on the planet." (Sweet JANE MUSIC)

All is well and quality in the VM camp. When are you guys gonna get recording and tour the fuck down here. We've got a few little hardcore fans of yours our way.
hi guys there is a mini festival on in my neck of the woods (the borders) that my mates are organising on the 12th - 13th aug, its in some woods near lauder (not too far from edin) usually quite a good turnout and its pretty cool wit huts and marquees, bands and djs all night. anyways it is still poss to get a gig and i'm sure perenium would go down a treat.
if you are interested phone becca on 07707659878 in the evenings or email gumbomusic@tiscali.co.uk.
if you guys ar eeven still playing that is...
I warned you lot about having non-porn stars in your top 8. If I don't see the best porn stars in the world in that top 8 the next time I come back to your excuse for a myspace page, you're getting dropped. You hear me ladyboyz, DROPPED I SAY!!!
(this msg was brought to you by the research society fund for finding a cure for andy mcgarry syndrome)
could I use that for my headline? LOL! you guyz are like, 1 of my favourite bands, cant believe I just got a msg from yous! this site is life changing!!!
Salutations from cousin Lee! Hope all is well guys. More than likely going to come see you guys playing in the doghouse. Beware the lack of space on stage. A badly timed rock stance and jump could be fatal.
See you soon
Keep ploughing the endless bean field
Adios
The sound of the guitar in Something Is Terrible is awesome; it's like a sheet of metal or something. Can't wait for the February gig, should be good. I've heard quite a lot of people speak very kindly of your live performances so I'm looking forward to that.
