   About The_Aesthetics
Our mission : to keep the moronic in vogue, in focus. To apply our kollective learnings to the infantile and primitive ritual/release that is punk rock, to render the stupid the highest peak of aesthetic life, of life itself. To strip back the layers of self-deception and self-betrayal that is the everyday, the brattish hubub of late modern capitalism and , assisted by all types of poisons, brandish our musical weapons with ugly, stupid, turbulent simplicity. We , the Aesthetics : obviously boys, stupid men, drunk, in trance, yelping and stuffing down food offerings, pissing profits away, we activate a new, deep subconcious stream and , through our group ritual, keep new zealand on it's feet. For if these artists, these madmen, were to be denied their right to performance, the cancer that is 'straight' new zealand society would metastasize exponentally. 'Real men', all hair-product and credit, would wake up one gray morning, pick up a bottle, and drink with android indifference. We keep this country on it's feet. We realize and heal these repressed subconcious collective evils bursting at the seams of the 'real world' through our music/ritual. All for no reward. Perhaps a strained, guilty half-smile from a city counsellor. WE ROCK. WE ROCK ON. WE ROCK ON . ONWARD - INTO OUR 30S. OUR 4OS. __________________________________________________________________ band started by Mat Middleton in Dunedin megaplex City 1995, with friends Jmz Robinson[tmai,notv] and russel coveney [currently lo-liners]..........with a noise rock aesthetic the aesthetes plundered their sound at SQUALLID parties, played sordid gis all over new zealand , changed line ups frequently, took too many pills and played with sonic youth in 1998, have gradually lost gear over the 11 years, now we have none of our own whatsoever. if we had RACKS/MARSALLS we'd fuggin TAKE OVER - but we stay humble - just to let you THINK we're useless. YOU JUST WAIT. YOU'LL SEE. YOU'LL SEE. THEN WE'LL BE THE ONES LAUGHIN. big day out photo diary:::::::::::

UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:

www.surveyblings.com

... anyhow, I know we are both kinda like "wo
ah" right now. But I just wanted to take a second to remind you that you are Amazing!

Yo The_Aesthetics!
Check out my new site www. percieve. co. nz
It's pretty much a document of a dude tryna make it in rap, without any industry machine or money behind him, could make for an interesting read if that's what you're into...or if you're bored!
