"Hey there all you boys and girls, I'd like to take you to the inside world. It's quite an irregular place to be, but never fear you're safe with me. Well maybe..." Thus spoke one of our heroes Les Claypool, but we too would like to take you to the inside world - the inside world of McTino. We, Aaron and Anthony, are a dodgy pubescent alternative duet with a simple goal of world domination. Unfortunately though, it ain't gonna happen, and if you have a quick listen to our soundclips offered below you'll see why. Nevertheless, we enjoy what we do and we're quite content with completely sucking, at times naturally yet at others deliberately. For those willing to listen to our material or who have been forced into it, remember to have an open mind and keep the volume down to a bearable level. If your ears begin to hurt ever so slightly, then we recommend that you keep on listening because the rewards will be rewarding (but on a side note, we warn that you try not to listen to them with headphones on because they have been really badly recorded).

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Our first and only concert to date was a successful one in Aaron's backyard. The entire concert was recorded, and if you want it, for free, let us know.

Your musical influences

Anything weird and freaky, really.  Ween, Frank Zappa and The Flaming Lips come to mind, but we also love to hate bands such as Nirvana, Radiohead and At The Drive-In and we benefit from this as well.

What equipment do you use?

Two guitars mainly, and electric righty and an acoustic lefty.  A trusty keyboard, a conga drum, GuitarPro, vocals, office equipment, FruityLoops, kazoos, harmonicas, recorders and stupid noises are all recorded onto a crappy mic into the sound recorder, Audacity.

Anything else?
