Seekae look like total wankers in that photo and great to see the song proves that they are.


anok  said about 9 months ago:

did they always have vocals?


temporarybenbutler  said about 9 months ago:

Would they be any less wanky as an instrumental act?


anok  said about 9 months ago:

i don't know ben. that track doesn't do it for me, but i remember liking moments of what i'd heard before.

wow, Butler's grumpy today

I really like the track. it had evolved substantially by the time the Vivid performance rolled around (additional vocals and instrumentation), so I'd be guessing it's still a work in progress.

Love the choice of venue in Sydney. should make for less of a ''yew Seekae!'' crowd vibe.
