The Lesser Gods
From their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/thelessergods
The Lesser Gods We get together and work on ideas that move us from one dimension to another... if that’s on the outskirts of sorcery, then we’re doing something that feels right - if that doesn’t take us there, then we’re just fucking around. When you've collectively been makin' music this long - it's good to know it's got places to go - it takes on a life of its own - it becomes meaningful to others and you either invest what it takes - or you move on. The music carves its own path - through thick and thin. The Lesser Gods are one of those bands that kick up a sound that pulsates and reminds you of the times when bands like Killing Joke, New Model Army and Bauhaus were considered truly 'art house'. Refreshingly familiar yet uncomfortably unpredictable - the old spirit ain't broke yet.
