Stefan and Sugar Jon went to Whangamata for new years 1990/1991 telling their parents that they were getting a ride with friend Shelley's uncle but really they hitchiked. Picked up in Thames by a woman in a horse truck who only picked them up cos she thought they were girls. When the truck went round the narrow bendy hilltop roads the horse would kick the side and send the truck veering off into thick oncoming holiday traffic. After a few days in Whangamata it became apparent that Jon and Stefans mothers had talked and worked out the lies. Jon called his mum and got a growling and when he got off the phone Stefan said they should form a band called Pumice.

Thus sayeth the dudes at Krayon... "Campbell Kneale moves ever closer to the glistening, levitation altar, with backwards bliss-shimmer, spooked chant and analogue squawk and squeal, kaleidoscoping around triumphant snare punctuation. Bark Haze hit back with focused power-drone guitar duelling from the heart of the bong, smoking out into tunnel-visoned, crumbled-amp chunder. Artwork by Campbell Kneale/Kim Gordon". But I say bullsheet senor... my side kills My Bloody Valentine with an elephant gun and stitches up the headwound with nifty silver thread in patterns that resemble fornicating deer, and Bark Haze blow the mong outta deep space with guitars the size of those fruity lookin' trumpets that yodelling Swiss goatherders play. Total supreme rule-age over space and time and little furry things the universe over. All shall kneel and know that I am home like usual. No wait, hang on...
