Back room:
garbage and the flowers - Coming out of Sonic Youth-drenched
Wellington, NZ in the early nineties, The Garbage & the Flowers were
always going to be an anomaly. Denounced as the fifty-thousandth band
to sound like the The Velvet Underground, and even as a Christian band
in the local street press, the five-piece nevertheless built up a solid
gang of devotees, who claimed their sound to be “unique, fractured, and
psychedelic” and ideal to take acid with and get stoned to. Championed
by songwriter Alastair Galbraith, they released a critically acclaimed
first single, Catnip/Carousel, and double album, Eyes Rind As If
Beggars, both on US labels. The latter, with its “sun-burning” and
lyrical improvisations found them a secure place in the noise-pop
canon.

lt colonel spastic howitzer - A one man wall of violent , twitching ,
vein throbbing saxophone sound. Be prepared to be stunned by the sheer
intensity. 2003 phase 1: fit inducing post breakcore plunderphonic mess
, 2004 phase 2: heavily treated saxophone added for additional mirth
and pain, 2008 phase 3: enter the spastar

Thylacine - Anna Chase: vocals, rhythm guitar. Ben Benton: drums. Jack
Dibben: lead guitar, ambience. Jess Corcoran: vocals, keys, harmonica,
violin.
