Had a quick look but didn't find much on the net.URLs follow.Press release for the scala. No news of further gigs. I did wonder how the band fit the recent MOBO MoWO debate on this list. The gig itself was OK, there was a goood atmosphere,I had a good time but some people I know were not that impressed. They may have played some new stuff but they were not breaking new ground. The sound wasn't very good.

Or I should say, that's more than it normally goes for on Ebay... it's worth to you, what it's worth to you. I really like MZUI, but I really like the Australian MZUI too. This one is the more interesting of the two ... the final 10 minutes or so remind me of 80s Bruce, but it IS PRIMARILY sound experiments of the same nature of the A. MZUI, and if I recall correctly A. MZUI wasn't a favorite of yours. Meanwhile, someone has a very nice photo of Bruce up. It's very stylish and really captures the man. But $25? I'll pass.

They would certainly qualify for a MOBO, though whether there is an Industrial Funk category is another matter. The Skidoo line-up contains white, black and asian people so I guess that shows up the futility of categorising music by race, religion, colour etc. Mark << I did wonder how the band fit the recent MOBO MoWO debate on this list.

I agree with you about catagorising music. Skidoo's music is an amalgam. To me they seemed to be a group of musicians from differing directions who get together and have a great time making a big sound. I cant help but like them for that.

His idea of a good time is cruising in his El Camino with astroturf in the back and picking up chicks... In fact, now that I think of it... Arkansas Bill is our president most likely to have ever sported a mullet. Forn those of you in the UK who have no idea what an 'El Camino' is, it's a 60's- early 70's combination car/pickup truck. Bill once boasted of putting astroturf in the back of his, much easier to bed the ladies back there. Plus I think that I heard that Al Gore invented MP3's.
