They're an electro-pop band.

They use on stage graphics generated by ZX Spectrums supposedly!

Anyone seen them?

    Never heard of them but I do have a Menlo Park CD here. Paul Simon's son (I think) is in the band and they played earlier in the day at the big Paul Simon concert of 2002 in Kilkenny. I bought the CD that day. Don't think I've listened to it more than once though.

    Necros.

    Juice from CSS was the first to bring them to my attention... He has photos.

    Ah cool, cheers for the pics. The funny thing is at times I think the graphics look more like a c64 because of the chunkiness. The 'rock' picture is clearly a speccy though! :)

    I'm off to see 'em in mid-october, though I've warned my girlfriend I'm only off to see the speccy graphics and not the woman in a PVC minidress!

    I saw a clip a while ago of a guy called 386dx who played "Rape Me" by Nirvana completely through a 386 running win 3.x. It even had a naff text to speech voice singing it. Though this isnt as vintage as using a speccy for the graphics its still funny.

    Watch his version of Rape Me here http://www.easylife.org/386dx/386dx-in-2001.mpg

    Also Enter sandman in mp3 format

    OT: check out the other band, Freezepop. I've been listening to them for a while now since discovering them on Myspace. Quite good if you like that kind of electro-pop thing.
