Electricity in Our Homes - Gymnastics

So these guys can be seen playing über-short sets in London’s trendiest nightspots (‘cos they’re all down there) and generating quite the buzz that attends mysteriousness. Hyped (and that is the word) as the natural successors to Talking Heads and other more obscure post-punk outfits such as Diagram Brothers, really - with nonsensical yet subversive wailings, and staccatoed lyrical and musical humour- their genealogy stretches all the way back to Devo. They’ve even got the matching outfits, just missing the hats. Repeat ad nauseum: "I am… a gymnast, I will be judged… at practice! – Bends my back… oooh". [Paul Mitchell]
