Obviously, this is another band, and not Colin and Malka. There is another band called Immersion who, as far as I know, are a sort of rave / techno outfit. I'm not really that familiar with their output, although I heard about them a few years ago. It's anyone's guess who was first. Name doubling is quite common and therefore there's nothing either Immersion can really do, barring the obvious race to the top (ie: first band to break into the charts keeps the name). Seeing as neither band is likely to be largin' it on Top of the Pops, it's not really a problem (unless a Swim~ fan buys the Purge CD by mistake or an "other" Immersion fan buys Oscillating!) I know I guy in Cardiff who was in an ad-hoc experimental band called the Levellers. Of course, a crusty indie band came out called The Levellers about six years after my mate's band started up (and charted) so they changed their name to The Diggers. Four years later and a naff indie band called The Diggers emerged in the UK (and charted) and now the experimental threesome in Wales have the rather less catchy name The Diggers Trio ... BTW, UK people after Swim~ stuff should order direct, or go to Rough Trade in London, which always seems to have a reasonable selection. === >>> Craig Grannell >>> snub.communications:- http://www.snub.dircon.co.uk Wireviews:- http://www.snub.dircon.co.uk/wirehome.html >>> cngrannell@yahoo >>> _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

So we spend the weekend changing the C's to G's for Gold September. My bandmate later joined a band named Catherine, who's first album an tour were coincident with a band named Catherine Wheel. So... When my friend's option (as Catherine) was not taken up by the label (no great loss there), he started shopping a new album, and decided to jetison the Catherine nameplate in favor of... My Friend the Snake. My only comment was 'At least you won't have that pesky soundalike problem' Wrong Former members of the down under band Not Drowning, Waving are now going under the flag of My Friend the Chocolate Cake. I saw the CD at the Virgin last month. needless to say , Mark has reverted to Catherine, tho he is sadly (?) still without a contract. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 19:27:44 -0800 From: Thom Heileson Subject: Anomolous Records f/s Just an FYI that Anomalous Records in Seattle has just sent a list of f/s used stock including: Wire "Chairs Missing" LP $14.99 printed inner sleeve with lyrics. slight sticker damage on front cover.
