We are the sons of the pioneers of the atomic age...we come to make noise. We are currently dormant. Watch this space...it does tricks
Why this name?
We are all atomic veterans, the whole world because we live in the atomic age (hopefully not the post-atomic age, that would suck)
Do you play live?
we last played live around a decade ago, we had some great gigs, got the girls (and guys)dancing @ Die Maschine (Collective Cabaret), The Spectrum (Pyramid), West End Cultural Centre, The Junkyard (gone), and Blue Note Cafe (also gone)....mostly in and around the heart of downtown Winnipeg! WECC circa 1996...we got them really dancing...unfortunately no tape exists of that show (far as we know) - anyone?
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It puts the industry on the defensive, but it also helps to expose new artists like never before - of course no one could possibly ever listen to every song out there, so I think the majors are too worried - people will still buy CDs. I hope in the future we can pick and choose new retail music, instead of buying a whole CD at a time. <--- We can!
There's over 800,000 "hip hop" tracks alone on Soundclick - incroyable!
