You're referring to the Sept show @ Dingwalls: two guys, one with his arm
in a sling, the other with a lightbulb on his head, right? That was
Holosud. They've released one EP on A-Musik so far. 'Brusseler Platz 10a'
is the address of the label/shop in Cologne.
The dude with the lightbulb and spazz-dance was Jo Schlammpeitziger (not
his real name ;-)) whose Kraftwerky synth toons have been around for a
while and been remixed by Markus Schmickler, Mouse On Mars etc. The invalid
in the armchair was Felix aka FX Randomiz - another A-Musik regular - his
Goflex LP is also out now. He made an album called Slow in 1992 with Jan St
Werner of MOM (on Werner's Gefriem label); well worth tracking down if you
can find it.
Best place to look for all this stuff right now seems to be Rough Trade in
London, or direct. A-Musik have a new website with more info:
