Electronic sampling meets traditional rock, with nods to hard rock and classical.
Why this name?
NAT: Kind of opposite to the way our music is.

ROB: We had to change it. We were originally called 'The Myriad', but some manager dude wrote to us and said it was taken and legal action would follow unless.. blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I like chlarity better, so they can keep their name. Our lawyers have better things to do.
Do you play live?
ROB: Not yet.
NAT: We're looking into it for next year.
Band History:
We started seriously recording in the University holidays of 1997. We had a few guitars around, a keyboard, some Aboriginal dancing sticks, a flute and most importantly, a computer with some great music software on it.

Our first song was called 'Menagarie', a charming one minute, three chord, pop-punk song. Due to improvements and upgrades in instruments and software, our music has rapidly become more complex, venturing into deeper styles demonstrated by bands such as tool and radiohead.
The average recording rate now is about a minute per day.

Added two members Graeme Kay (Bass) and Kurt Leitch (Drums) in 2001 to complete a full band line up. Worked for many months on our demo cd ' Alternabot' which was finished late 2001. Disbanded in early 2002 due to relocation of members. Rob (Guitar) and Kurt (Drums) went on to form a new band 'The Kreisler Hoax' (also on this site).
Your influences?
Radiohead and the Tea Party. Also heavy stuff like Nine Inch Nails and Tool.
Equipment used:
Whatever we can get. Soundforge, Cakewalk, BOSS Metal Zone, Zoom 707, Marshall Amplification, Fender/Yahama guitars.
Anything else...?
No there is nothing else we wish to declare.
