We have renamed ourselves QUARKS, gained a new member, and are diving headfirst into a new direction. Come join us at myspace.com/wearequarks
above: The New Caledonia - Lotus (Released Feb 07 - NZ)
"I was blown away by this debut from the progressive rock band ex-Hamilton now based in Australia. These four versatile and talanted chaps have forged an amazing collection of technical but melodic pieces - long on chops and big on fun interplay". - NZ MUSICIAN full review here
"Despite strong ADD tendencies, The New Caledonia work their personality changes so tightly you barely notice they've just gone from funk to post-hardcore to psych-jazz in the space of a minute". - REAL GROOVE MAGIZINE full review here
"Space disco on speed, it's New Year's Eve 3008 and thank God you brought your dancing shoes. Thick bass and disco beats push this wild star cruise through shredding funk guitar, scorching sax lines and haunting synth seqalls". - RIP IT UP MAGIZINE full review here

When you gonna freshen this page with the quarkzing action? Haha. Excited for the first gig, where is it again? Im back soooon. Yay! Seeya geniuses. K x
Ok so we thought it just might be about time to put the track up for you flautists to LEGALLY download, after a few of you actually do, then the rest of you cheap asses can ILLEGALLY get ya hands on it thru the grapevine quite possibly.
It's available here at www.amplifier.co.nz.
And don't stress, it's a near cd quality mp3.
There won't be physical copies pressed of this single, so this is the only way you can get ya hands on it people. It will of course be on the physical copy of the album, but u don't wanna wait that long now do u?....really?? Help a starving artist out ay! Cmon now.
