Says the band: “Our debut album »Monkey Palace« is out now!

We would like to give a huge thanks to: Stuart Anderson (the bands shepherd) and all the Singing Bird crew. Brad Nicholson (Doominati Records), Linda, DD and the rest of the Canberra family. Lincoln for providing the succulent juicy sax on Odium Below. Hemi for the mind rending lazer beam solo in Shaft Splitter. PJ for chucking some texturous synth madness across the album. Jack the Bear for being the master at mastering. Marty G the masterpiecer for creating the wicked paintings for the album art. Alkoholterus for the album cover layout and logo as well as being a mad graphic designer. Brad, Jay and uncle skip for letting us borrow some gear to use on the album. Everyone in Frankston. Any fellow band we have had the pleasure to share a stage with and anyone else who has supported us in any form along the way. Cheers!”
