band guide

Performance art in the purest sense of the word, the band's penchant for hiring massive railway sidings, sheds etc and putting on a mudfight soundtracked by what sounds like the Burundi Drummers falling down a flight of stairs. Their records are less impresive visually but just as good sonically, verging close to what you might call 'dance' music, but what is best defined as, you guessed it, 'industrial'.
