Artist History We are the only 4 young people on an island of 50. All of the residents here are descendent of the HMS Bounty Mutineers. With nothing to do, we bought instruments in New Zealand and made a band. We love American pop and alternative music. But we have no music store here, no concert places, nothing. Last year I bought this computer and our band began recording music on Cubase, which we bought at E-bay. And we started buying CDs at CDNow. Everything we have in this band we bought online. Very cool for us to find. Of course all mail takes 3 months to get here - we are 3300 miles from New Zealand and 3800 miles from San Francisvo. We are also Scuba salvage divers and by using the net to sell pieces of the wrecks around here, we make enough to keep buying gear for the band. Without the Internet, we would never get to hear or see good music - or play our own. We hope you like our attempts at writing songs. Maybe you'll visit our Island someday?
