about

He sat long on that red dirt, lost in his grievances and wonderings, consumed by premonitions of vengeance. He'd toughed it out one too many times, and ultimately, he was compelled to shut out the voices of those who loved him...mere distractions. In the barren canyons of Mars, under the white smear of the Milky Way, he laid on his back with his eyes closed in a sleepless daze, meditating on the infinity of violence of which he was a part and which was a part of him.
The Marlboro Man drew a deep breath and sighed. If it really was over, at last, after everything...well then, "What better place than here? What better time than now?" He flipped a half-penny and thought to place a bet on tails. But what was there left to bet, besides a rusted iron lung and ten thousand kilos of scrap? The decision was already made. All that was left was to ride. He threw his pack onto the back of his red-eyed metal steed and started towards the one thing he knew, the one thing he was made to do. Now it was time, again, to raise hell on planet earth.

Useless Spaceman Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne-based indie rock band, with a smattering of punk and psychedelia. NASA super-fans. Generally incompetent. Friendly but inconsiderate.
