it’s always time for friendship time

these are our last two show until february 2009-ish. the sydney music scene just won’t be the same without our special brand of shit puns, too-small amps, crappy banter, rockin the escher-esque visual illusion no pants look, non-intentional lifeform wannabe unwittingly beastie boys charm. hahah. we’re sorry to anyone who caught worms off us, we’re not sorry that you get to eat imitation chocolate medicine.

musical piece de resistance

beautiful, beastly catharsis

lured and captured, trapped in an instance

*runs*

*sigh*

gimme night minutes with you

we are back (back back back)

we are emotionally devastated

we are johannesian misery and happiness melting into a crushing listless contemplation

we are thankful

we are changed

we are hardout brutalised by new zealand’s grand beauty and amazingness

we love strangers

 

that’s all for now. words are worthless.
