This is definately an oldie, but I love it. I thought I would share. This band released one full length album(Happy Day’s Sweetheart) which was produced by Barry Adamson, and decided to call it quits.
I think I have met one person ever who knew who this band was. I might have just been too goth for most people…or something.
You should definately listen to their “Close to You” cover of The Carpenter’s classic.
“Ripened Peach” is definetely their slowest and most romantic song. The rest of the album is very noisey yet still enjoyable. I recommend the album to anyone who enjoys being uncomfortable while listening to music.

5. Saw them play in 92-93? With My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult in Austin, TX. They stole the show.
