The band is comprised of some political disadents a PC called Edger and 2 guys that just hassle the sh*** out of the others. It's not produtive and is a massive waste of time. 10 new releases are iminant and the group has advised that they will stop if people listen.

If people listen the disadents are only going to play the bits between notes and the PC will join Kasabiann as the replacement guitarist. The other 2 will just hassle people in the street.
Why this name?
Bordom and random combined to create the flipping name. What's in a name. Ugly King may change there name to Brian Can or Shiver Stack or Malange du Cake.

If you can think of a better name let me know you dogs.

Do you play live?
They play live, but only when everyone is alseep.
They like to play in cellars as it provides the mositure so beloved of the disadents
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The big players of the music industry move slowly as they are so large. The big players only absorb new trends that others create. Thats what they are there for.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course they would, in a second. However it's very unlikely that a major would ever listen to this as it's rather out of the way. Also majors would quickly realise that the sound they make is not quite suitable for the hit parade.

The PC assures me that he is planning on some "tunes as commercial as that boyzone poof Kunting"

The PC is a bit hard and I don't wanna mess. He came to be in the mid eighties and is about the size of a Launderette.
Band History:
An amalgam, came to be in 1992.
It soon eneded in bitter accromoney, fights were common and made up part of the show.
By Dec 1992 they had released the Fight E.P., which featured vignette's off the 1st month of fighting.

The band then stopped and reformed in Jun 93 to finish a fight that had been started in Jan 93.

The fight lasted another 2 years and was finaly over in july 95. An EP was released 2 days after this. A truley sublime peice that encapsulated the sound and viciousness, the EP would go on to outsell anything by Black Machine 'American Express!'.
