They had copies of the second album 'Man Made Stars' at the merch desk at ATP (as well as stickers, postcards, etc!), so pretty likely they'll be on sale tonight too.

Great album, and pretty much impossible to find otherwise. Buy!

I just (re-)discovered that I have their 'Snaplock' demo from 1992! Hit me up if you wanna hear it.

Yeah someone outside Melb Music Mafiosi and their latter-day acolytes would be good.

I'm not a huge fan of Magic Dirt/ Adalita, but they were always very supportive of good new local bands (often before I'd even heard of them). I reckon they'd make some good picks...

Really impressed with Spite House. Kinda like Live Skull with Bjork on vocals! Great guitarist.

I put mine on Stickmen

That'd be cool, but I've barely heard a peep from ex-members (apart from Ianto) in more than 12 years.

Hmm, what about LUGs? Not a big stretch... and I'd call them legendary.
