Biography
Short-lived and bizarre Christchurch industrial outfit from around 1992-1993.
[From] December 1992 to June 1993 played 8 gigs in their six months together. Their sound was based on robotic and repetitive beats, and their stage show included a two-headed guitarist, a clarinet player dressed only in tin-foil and glad wrap, and a singer in a chemical suit emblazoned with endless personal insults– Dave Clark
The band recorded a couple of tape releases, and were included on the ‘Flat City’ and ‘Roadkill Banquit’, but never commercially released any other recordings, despite several songs recorded with Dave Wernham (4-track).
Their excellent posters (many of which can be found in the poster archive) were always highly graphic and usually repulsive.

We should get the band back together. I have been cooking up some great Bass lines etc. We could get seriously weird, heavy, atmospheric, artsy and loud ( but not gnarly loud, no, bad, not ok ).
