wherever i am , i am what is missing.

We're a 3 piece garage band living in Sydney and we like to play rock and roll and the blues. We're unsigned and broke and we mostly write songs about girls, cars, drugs and surfing. We try and keep it simple, strong and fun, and always, to play for the people.

Flaub, composer, performer and visual artist mainly orientated to avant-garde, experimental and ambient music.

With the aim of compiling sonic substance and creating new devices from old industrial machines and recycled scrap, I spent several years living into an abandoned factory reconditioned as a sound laboratory. Besides those post-industrial quests I use to travel around the world documenting sonic and visual material.

It will center around the worship of a piece of plywood with seven rusty nails of various lengths. Eudora the dancer from Kafka's diary first chapter has a crooked nose that refracts at a strange rate when partially submerged in water. The light physics of the sacrificial fragment that is a part of her movements aura excess. This allows for plenty of family waterpark fun and satan worship for all...
