How did your band meet?
Mike's (guitar) previous band, "The White Elephants" needed a bass player, James joined up, the singer (Mark Ivey) died, the 'Elephants ended, but James and Mike kept playing together, eventually amalgamating with Mike's other musical project, the punk cover-band, "Kill Kill Kill"
-
Where did the idea for your band's name come from?
It's just a collision of the names of our previous music projects. And it sounds like an evil robot command, or subliminal hypnotic message activation.
-
What music has inspired your band?
British and American punk, proto-punk, new-wave and post-punk bands such as The Buzzcocks, Talking Heads, Gang Of Four and The Stooges.

Three people dead or alive you would invite to your gig, and why?

Where will your band be in five years from now?

Don't let the drummer play with matches

Do you live the Rock n Roll lifestyle?
Yes! We love drugs and have many sexual partners, not all of whom are human.
