If you like myspace and you live in New Zealand you can be in our gang. But you have to be totally cool and never suck. You also have to support the scene and be willing to carry out dangerous missions. But we will send you cool stuff. Don't worry if you see us lurking in the bushes round your house. That's research. No I'm not going to kill your family! God. I just like to watch.
Hey Y'know can even give me the bash for talking smack about some band you and your friend is in on the internet. If you can catch me. I used to sell drugs so I'm a pretty fast runner. If I can outrun patched Mongrel Mob and Stormtroopers members I can probably run away from you.
Our LIVE radio broadcast with lots of cool semi-obscure HIPSTER music. Our EMO/SCENECORE editon coming soon!

Influences
But um . . . maybe like that band um . . . have you heard of bands like "The Monkees" and "The Gorillaz" . . . ? Apparently they're not real. But we definately ARE human though.
Like we are fully FASHIONCORE/FAKECORE/SCENECORE/POSERCORE/CLONECORE
Like: Scotty Rocker and knowing/pretending to know someone who is or was in Cold By Winter
Getting physical threats by someone who is or was in Cold By Winter
David and that other guy Andrew from that band that David's in
Emotronica i.e. Panic! at the fucking corporate sell out gay ass disco and The fricken effin Faint and basically lots of other fuckin shitty commercial "Emo" bands that little kids like, mainly Fall Out Boy, Cartel, New Found Glory, The Used, MCR, Starting Line, Saosin etc.
But really . . .
RC Band STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE: Electro, Electroclash, Electrotrash, Synthpop, New Romantic, New Wave, Darkwave, Classic Goth, Breakdance, Electro-funk, Boogaloo, Acid House and Proto-rave, anything overtly 80's, anything with an electric "robot" voice. Faux modernism, 80's sleaze, porn, fetish and post-feminism - AND none other than mr. TOMMY VERCETTI! "GTA: Vice City","American Psycho","The Wedding Singer". The works of John Hughes and Molly Ringwald.
RC Band THE FURTHER: Being cool hipster Indie kids into Shoegazer Dreampop. Still a fence-of-noise rather than a full blown wall at this point. Creation Records, Alan Moulder, Bowl Cuts, Anoraks, Art School, Monogamy, Ambiguous Lyrics, Rain Metaphors, Morrissey more so than Robert Smith. And we hate Oasis.
And OF COURSE like, fully being emo and like scene to the core and shit!
Oh! AND we're wickedly massive junglist rudebwoys bo bo bo big ups all drum'n bass heads and respect to all massive and kru representing internationally and worldwide inside the ride 'longside the RC wid da bassline fitness.
I think thats all the bases covered.
bands we hate and will beat down on sight (Other than Linkin Park, Nickelback, Creed etc.)
Elemeno P
Nickelback (cant be stressed enough)
Sounds Like
Like I said, we are kind of two bands. An electroclash one, and a shoegaze one. We're also working on our sell out Emo one.
STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE Devo, Moroder, 80's pop shit, Adult, Human League, The Cars, Vangelis, Jan Hammer, 80's Whitney + Prince, Milli Vanilli, Ladytron, Kraftwerk, Afrika Bambataa, Fischerspooner, Peaches, Chicks on Speed, Suicide, The Cure.
Bands we can agree on: Joy Division, The Pixies, Transam, Siouxsie Sioux, that's about it.
THE FURTHER Lots of bands like Ride and Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine that you're probably not cool enough to know of and be into and like Buckley, Mogwai, Tortoise . . . If you listen to Radiohead, or Interpol, or Pulp, or Bloc Party they're only "sort of okay" bands really. And Sigur Ros come on, thats just silly.
And oh, that other British band, you know the one. Shut up. Just because it's commercial doesn't mean it's shit y'know. Why do you have to be such a wanker?.
HI EVERYONE, IT’S ME MATT! YEAH, I’M NOT DEAD - COOL HUH? I’M NOT REALLY ON MYSPACE THAT MUCH ANYMORE - I GOT SICK OF WAITING TO DO MY SHOW SO NOW I’M JUST DOING IT AND FUCK MYSPACE! I THINK FACEBOOK FUCKIN’ SUCKS BUT . . . WHAT’RE GONNA DO?
DON’T WORRY I’LL BE BACK WHEN THE EPISODES START COMING OUT. WE ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR EDITORS, YOUNG ACTRESSES, A FEW INDIANS, AT LEAST ONE FAG, AND ANY ASSORTED GENERAL WEIRDOS. ALSO VOLUNTEERS ETC. TO ASSIST WITH SHOOTING. PLEASE LEAVE US A MESSAGE AS WE WILL STILL CHECK THIS ACCOUNT ONCE A WEEK!
We’re all about the music. And our music is shit. Explains quite a lot really.
It’s um . . . .
REALITY! at the COMPOUND!!!
Were sort of making a TV show about this band that sucks, it was about these real pretentious wankers in this band and they’re pretty much losers, but they pretend to be cool - like on the internet and stuff. It’s kind of like a comedy with like shock factor, and a message. yeah.
But yeah, don’t buy our CD or our T shirt or txt in your vote for us to play on the fucking local stage. Not just because we suck and we’re pretty much about to split up . . . but um - just add us, because . . . it’ll be funny. Trust me. It will.
ALSO, IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, MATT IS ONE OF NZ’s FOREMOST MYSPACE EXPERTS. IT’S TRUE. WELL HE HAD TO MAKE MONEY SOMEHOW, HOW DO YOU THINK HE AFFORDS TO SIT AROUND ON THE INTERNET ALL DAY BEING A SLEAZY ARROGANT FUCKWIT?
REALITY COMPOUND IS ALSO THE LEADING SUPPLIER OF SYNTHESIZED TIGER PENIS PRODUCTS IN AUSTRALASIA. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT TIGERS ARE A PROTECTED SPECIES AND NATURAL TIGER BY PRODUCTS ARE ILLEGAL TO BUY AND SELL ON THE OPEN MARKET.

AWWW! REALITY COMPOUNDS VERY FIRST VIDEO BACK IN ’04
We were called SOS back then. Style over substance. Remember back when Garage Rock was cool. Har Har.
ALRIGHT!!! When avant garde performance artists and Electrotrash iconoclasts Style Over Substance finally got their very own profile on Myspace, having to bunk up with Shoegazing The Further left them less than impressed:
"We sing about a future where we all have micro chips in our brains. These soppy radges are still bleating on about some bird who upped sticks on them three years ago."
That’s when the boys discovered the myspace of Reality TV star, Drummer and celebrity SCOTTY ROCKER who said "I’m a poser? No shit." And from then were inspired to embrace the fakecore emo scene, dressing like personality deficient, brain dead 15 year old scenewhores who’d do anything . . . JUST TO MAKE FRIENDS.
All RC acts are managed and overseen by scurrilous DJ/Producer/writer Romantech who says "Who gives a fuck if it’s a joke? I need to be getting my boys some gigs. My people ain’t eatin’. Y’all gotta break me off a lil’ summin’ summin’."
KEEPING IT FAKEXCORE
Life may have made you bitter, ugly, stupid, humourless, poor etc. but thats no excuse not to make an effort to get people to like you. Don’t worry, no one wants to know the real you. Just pretend there isn’t one, you’ll be fine. Always act like you know. Don’t pretend you know, just act like it. When in doubt just say, "I know". Trust me on this.
What if someone asks you a question? Again, just say "I know" as if the answer to that question is so obvious, it has no meaning. For example:
Matt’s Mum: "When are you going to tidy your room?"
Matt: "I know, mum."
IMPORTANT!!! REMEMBER to watch and learn from Scotty!!! -
"I’m a poser? No shit."
- People don’t look in photos how they look in real life. Make sure you look better in your photos than you do in real life, not worse!
"I used to like eating lots of pies but i ended up getting fat so i went on a diet and became super cut and super good looking."
- Be cut and good looking. Don’t be fat and gross.
"i have an SUPER amazing girlfriend in the whole wide world!!"
- Have a hot gf/bf. Make sure they are not ugly or fat.
"Your[sic] not even worthy of an infomercial. You also try too hard to attract attention to yourself so your[sic] the LAST thing television needs."
- People who try to attract attention to themselves will NEVER make it to Celebrity Treasure Island.
"i promise you next time i see you its not going to be good. You have fucked me of[sic] to[sic] many times. take my picture off your site."
- Don’t put Scotty’s picture on your page. He will tell Tom on you, and get his friend George to beat you up.
RC MSN: realitycompound@hotmail.com
Just don’t ask me dumb questions. Yes. I was that guy who got thrown in the bin in Sione’s wedding. Yes, its the highlight of my career so allow me the dignity to act as if people care.
RC Group sssh! LIKE ANYONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT OUR GROUP ANYWAY! FAKE FRIENDS! YES, YOU! Not joining our group. I’d joing your group to make you look popular. Hmmph.
If you want to be in my top thingee without having significant local, international or historical significance on the scene you’ll ahm - have to be on our msn before im wading through hundreds of pages of our friends - so it doesn’t mean last night wasn’t special okay?
THIS PROFILE WAS EDITED BY MATT. BECAUSE MATT IS ALREADY COOL AND DOESNT NEED A FUCKING TACKY EDITOR TO BE BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE WELL, HE ALREADY IS.
