Description:

UPDATE For '08 :

Don't call it a comeback, as a wise man once said. Well we're back and going to have another crack at it. We were planning on doing a completely different project, different name, different styles etc. Then we decided we were going to do that road trip to the states in February we were talking about for a couple of years. THEEEN we remembered about RPM and decided (thats THREE, count 'em THREE whole decisions we made all by ourselves without an adult) to attempt both.

So, for 2008, no big concepts like making the record from random contributions of noises. We are just going to let it happen. Except that we only have half of february sitting in Bars in SF talking about it, then the other half to actually record it when we get over the jet lag. Yikes. Working title for the album is "Myagi Sound Machine", but will probably change. Thanks for reading and best of luck to all...

 

2007:

errr welllll.....this is the ideal chance to do something we have talked about for ages. A bit of a secret electro project knocked together by a bunch of folks in other bands round Edinburgh. We have talked about it long enough, so bring on February! God knows whats gonna come out of this but we will see. Feb the 1st, Im firing up the laptop! Boom!

 

Hopefully will put some tracks on www.myspace.com/thezx81s as soon as we can ...

You cant have THAT comment removed, as it's true. Thanks a bunch, and good luck with your life.
