I've mentioned them, but if I'm honest haven't listened to them in so long, and I don't really feel like it right now. From what I remember from the records I used to have, some EPs, the music sounded like studenty, indie spliff psychedelia. Gomez, that sort of shit. Rubbish. White boys smoking joints and pretending they had a connection with the 'Mexican lifestyle'. I suppose the popularity of Beck in the UK at the time may have encouraged this sort of band. I would have never thought they could be popular with hardened junkies. Those people probably listen to trance from back in the day. Or Charlie XCX, if they are younger.
