"Both hailing from Blackburn. West Lothian,,, a shitsville village in Scotlands central belt, these tubes relocated and married Brighton, England. Lungs full of sea air and bellys full of wine fuel much of the scab sounds of Blood Stereo... Outside of this unholy union Karen performs solo as Smack Music 7, as well as leading an ever changing all female outsider noise group The Polly Shang Kuan Band. Dylan also records solo (under the imaginative umbrella of Dylan Nyoukis), previously he performed in Decaer Pinga (the artists formerly known as Prick decay) with his sister Dora Doll."
