The Submissionaries |
|
Gigging with ever increasing success around the greater Beijing area, the band made plans for their first full length - a quadruple vinyl-only live/studio hybrid featuring a full symphony orchestra and a small Hunanese boy on triangle to be called 'My Life With The Electric Yak-Herders'. Sadly it was not to be - the small Hunanese boy turned out to be a rather large Indonesian pigmy with halitosis, the symphony orchestra all got pregnant on the same day, and the band decided it could serve its public much better by going on permanent 'hiatus'. A strange situation developed - when asked, the bands official line would be 'we've broken up. Or will. Tomorrow. But we're playing a show next week. Probably.' This gave rise to the popular thought experiment 'the Submissionaries' Uncertainty theory'. It went like this - You put the Submissionaries in a box with some rolling papers, a carton of cigarettes and a case of beer. Seal the box up. Until you re-open the box, you are now unsure whether they exist any more. This is bollocks. Just buy the fucking record - it's super cool! |
