2) Boner rock from the Hague, the Netherlands. Consisting of Guy Tavares (Unit Moebius), Selwyn Slop (Incense) & Arthur van Berkel (Orange Sunshine). Signed to the infamous Motorwolf. Knee deep, crystal HIGH, from the fertility rites of the jungle (le sacre du printemps) to the sinister soul of the endless chain gang hoogie boogie, from the freak-out fuzz funk (black funky metal) of the black ritual acid rock to the overtones and mindfuck mantras of the drug metal drone magnet. www.myspace.com/santacruzmotorwolf
