I know this is probly a lost cause but f@#k it. If anyones keen to join a band to tribute the late great at the drive-in I'd be interested to hear from you. Me and a friend who are both guitarists have spent the better part of the last two years learning most of their songs pretty much note for note from in-casino-out, vaya and relationship of command. We need a bassist (and/or guitarist), drummer and vocalist (which is going to be f#$king hard to find) to complete the band. We wanna go the whole gimmick, with afros and all. If anyones keen to learn the songs, or already knows them, please contact us. Some of these songs are quite difficult. Heres a list of songs we're thinking about covering...

Hulahoop Wounds
Napoleons Solo
Pickpocket
Shaking Hand Incision
Lopsided
Hourglass
A Devil Among The Tailors
For Now We Toast (maybe)
Metronome Arthritis
198d
One Armed Scissor
Pattern Against User
Enfilade (maybe)
Arc Arsenal
Quarantined
Catacombs (maybe)
Rolodex Propaganda (maybe)
Invalid Litter Dept
Rascuache

The vocals in these songs are very difficult to sing as cedric has such a huge range so this probly aint gonna happen, but if your keen, send us an email or text on 0211037853, i can send you the songs either on a cd or in guitar pro format if you wanna learn em. I'm in east Auckland my mate lives in Hamilton

you know i'd really like to see if he can pull off those high parts in 'cygnus' live. i'd pay to see that...

we also got a few volta songs down, like 'roulette dares' and 'eriatarka'. But it'll be pretty cheeky trying to cover those songs lol...

man, i'd wait half a year if I could get a vocalist
