True Believers

We are currently machining a live recording of our FennerFest gig at Vikram's Occasions Palace last year with a view to releasing a double CD.

A rough mix of Rajneesh has been uploaded to this site. The live version of Watching The Grass Grow proved to be simply too powerful for the Myspace server.

We've also embedded a Youtube video of the band playing Cars Eat With Autoface from the same gig, filmed and edited by Kevin Dwyer.

Thanks to all of you who were able to come to the Standard in Walthamstow on 11th May, and thanks also to the excellent Litmus and Colin Allen.

Avast Ye Land Lubbers!

ICU rehearsed in Brighton before the gig and "Battle of the Trees" was added to the set, along with an impromptu version of Bob Calvert's "Ejection" on the night. "Master of the Universe" brought the set to its climax.
