I followed these guys for a while... basically - I love just about anything that comes off of Astralwerks label...
anyway - I guess they're calling it quits. Bummer.

Yea, 3 EPs was good, the two albums that followed were crapola. . .
the new one is quite good.
So, they are 2 for 2.
Yea, best to quit on a good note.

the 3eps were great alright.
I somehow think that this band might be a causalty of soulseek cause loads of people know them but not bought the music it seems
- gerbert0

- toe-knee0

- grayhood0
i bought 3 eps, the others i burned from a friend
- gerbert0
I want my money back for hot shots, hahahaha.
I've seen them live twice, really good performers and great visual artists too.

Steve Mason's King Biscuit Time is kitchy, but who knows, he may turn out some good shit under that moniker
