Molliger
Molliger grew up in a caravan with their parents who named them Gwen and Tutts. Once they were out hunting kangaroos and found a laptop on the side of the road with a keyboard, guitar and some singing voices - and played around with them until some music appeared. Since 2003 they have toured along the Australian east coast, and camped out in sheds, offices and penthouses. At the moment Gwen lives in Leeds (UK) and Tutts lives in Brisbane (Australia).

The Coolies
There are two bands with this name: 1) The Coolies were an Atlanta-based band that put together two off-beat records on DB records. The first, 1986's dig . . .?, was a set of Simon & Garfunkel songs with weird styles (surf, psychedelia, funk, etc). In 1988 they released Doug (and thus having their two albums naming out a 1980s video game fave, Dig Doug), a rock opera that tells the story of a skinhead who murders a transvestite short-order cook, sells the victim's recipes to gain fame and fortune only to subsequently develop paranoia and substance abuse and end up in the gutter.

Anonymeye
Anonymeye is the nom de plume of Andrew Tuttle from Brisbane, Australia. Tuttle’s work as Anonymeye reconfigures various organic and mechanic musics within a sonic framework akin to an abstract musical Esperanto. Utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, and effects units, Anonymeye straddles and blurs boundaries between improvisation and composition, experimentation and song-form, rural landscapes and urban constructions and melody and dissonance.
