"The answer that makes me sound good is that we desired to circumvent the cult of personality that is inherent in rock music by choosing to remain anonymous. Unlike every other band in rock we chose to be anonymous. The answer that makes me sound good would probably also incorporate some lengthy discussion about Brechtian alienation techniques, about our post modernist grasp of ever cooling universe, and a dehumanizing society encapsulated in the somewhat paramilitary aspect of our clothing. All of those things would make me sound good, but actually we’re really boring guys.
God I love those guys!
Whoever wrote the Wiki entry knows plenty about them too, actually the style of the entry suggests, it is written by one of the band members.
A big thanks to digiboy for the heads-up, good luck in your search for their music, I've stumbled on some rarities in my travels, which you are more than welcome to. It's nice to see someone interested in them and poking around on the net looking for them, I know of at least one mailing list that exists, but whew it was hard work and I have long since moved from mailing lists to news feeds as a source of info.
ah well Gohst thems the breaks I guess, shall I fall on my sword now or wait for my end of year exams?
Hello.
I just stumbled across your entry quite by accident and thought I'd settle your mind a little. The bulk of the TISM Wikipedia article was not written by a TISM member. Not only does it actually discuss TISM, something which their interviews show they're not prone to do, but the fact is that I wrote the bulk of the article over the last six or so months. I happen to know that I'm not a member of TISM and as such, the article was not written by a member.
Sorry to burst your bubble if you thought that was the case, but that's the way things are.
Have a nice day.
