We like making something along the lines of psychedelic experimental alternative metallic riff-based blues space electro prog psychosis noise rock, with which we enjoy screwing with many peoples' brains. Yeah, something like that anyway, like that stuff you see when you rub your closed eyes for ages. We love just fucking about with different sounds/noises. We're not trying to impress anyone. We're trying to have fun with music. We don't always think about it or really care. Sometimes we just mong out and make indecipherable mental stuffs, other times we rock, funk and groooooooooooove. We're not gonna type another anti-cliche cliche here so let's just say we're in it for the free drinks. Stop by sometime, watch out for cables and Sam.
