Wascomat 73. space rock hippies, at least one of whom was from planet Eek.
Wascomat 73 was a band that existed only in the living room of our house in Edinburgh (at Peacocktail close). We were a space rock band but sadly without any Hawkwind style spaceship noises. The band was relatively short lived, lasting for a few months. One day i recorded and mixed our first 4 track demo song. The bass player didn't like it, and from then on we never played as a band again. I don't know why, we never talked about it. We didn't have a drum kit so i made one out of household objects. the tom toms were cardboard, the snare drum was a toy drum with a tape box full of screws taped to it, the hi-hat was a big jar and the cymbals were pots and pans suspended on string. To hear the surviving music of Wascomat 73, click the "music" link above, and also, more Wascomat 73 downloads for those completists amongst you!

Story behind the song
This was a song a band called The Lapels (whom I used to be in) did. I just wanted to do the song in Wascomat too, since i thought we could get a nice rock vibe going.
Lyrics
Peace time and the people are restless Good times they all rest less There's more in grey than in black and in white There's less wrong and much less right Petty things little things, things that just don't happen Fickle things stupid things, things that just don't matter anyway In the day time they're all working In the night time they're all sleeping Untill they finally all wake up and See the light and stop We will again feel the need to survive The very joys of being alive To breathe the air of our own free land and On its hills and mountains stand
